Description
This 2022 version of Ridge's old vine Zinfandel blend from the Geyserville Vineyard in Alexander Valley is a blend of 67% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 10% Petite Sirah, 3% Mataro. It was aged for 13 months in 100% air-dried (as Ridge specifies) American oak barrels, 11% new, 42% one and two year, 47% three and four year. Deep ruby in color with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, baking spices, toasted oak, and lavender. A fresh entry with bold red cherry and raspberry flavors. Subtle tannins and natural acidity lead to a long and pleasant finish.
