Vinous, April 2023, Score: 94+
The 2021 Geyserville hits the palate with a burst of dark red/purplish fruit, sweet spice, lavender, chocolate, dried herbs and American oak. I would be in no rush to open the 2021, as it is clearly an infant at this stage. The blend is 76% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 6% Petite Syrah and 2% Alicante Bouschet. The 2021 is a powerhouse, that much is pretty clear.

Jancis Robinson, October 2023, Score: 16.5+
76% Zinfandel, 16% Carignan, 6% Petite Sirah, 1% Alicante Bouschet and 1% Mataro. This is Ridge's longest continuous production site for Zinfandel. The first vintage for this vineyard was in 1966. The oldest part of the vineyard was planted in the 1880s. This vineyard is dry farmed and grows in the former Russian River bed (before the river changed course). 100% air-dried American oak barrels (30% new) for 16 months. pH 3.55, TA 6.84 g/l. Organic. Medium ruby verging on purple in colour. Spicy red and black plum, cinnamon, clove, anise and a more savoury spice note akin to red chilli. Fresh, high acidity and fine-grained, moderate tannin. Lightly sandy, plummy finish. More savoury than the Lytton Springs bottling.
Region
Sonoma
Sonoma Valley AVA is an appellation in California, USA. It is the oldest wine region north of San Francisco and is located on the western side of the Mayacamas Mountains, which separate it from the Napa Valley. The valley nearly touches the Russian river valley to the north-west and reaches the Sonoma portion of Carneros in the south. With steep mountains on either side there are great variations in climate and geology, which gives way to many different grape varieties and styles. The most notable varieties are Chardonnay and Zinfandel but also Cabernet and Merlot from hillside sites.
