First produced in 1966 from one of Sonoma County’s most celebrated vineyard sites, it remains one of Ridge’s most iconic bottlings, with some parcels of the Geyserville Vineyard now reaching up to 130 years of age. Zinfandel leads the blend, supported by Carignan, Petite Sirah, and a touch of Alicante Bouschet, giving the wine its layered complexity and unmistakable sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a deep dark ruby color that hints at its concentration and intensity. The nose opens with dark cherries, spice, cola, mint, and subtle earthy undertones, creating a fragrant and inviting profile.\n\nOn the palate, ripe dark fruit is joined by notes of pomegranate, rose petals, cocoa, and a touch of smoke through the long finish. Rich yet finely balanced, it has the structure and harmony to age gracefully over the coming years, gaining further nuance and complexity with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeyserville Vineyard sits in Sonoma County, where old vines rooted in varied soils contribute both concentration and freshness to the wine. Ridge works with a field-blend approach, with Zinfandel typically making up around 70% of the final blend, while Carignan, Petite Sirah, and Alicante Bouschet provide structure and depth. The wine is aged for 13 months in American oak, with only about 10% new barrels used, allowing the fruit and vineyard character to remain at the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a versatile and food-friendly red that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, barbecue, lamb, roast pork, braised short ribs, and richly seasoned dishes.

Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to let the aromatics and layered fruit fully open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1962, Ridge Vineyards has become one of California’s most respected producers, known for its commitment to site-driven wines, traditional winemaking, and old vines.
