First produced in 1966, it draws on an extraordinary old-vine vineyard where some parcels are now up to 130 years old, giving the wine remarkable depth, complexity, and sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this is a dark ruby-red wine with impressive concentration. The nose opens with dark cherry, spice, cola, mint, and a subtle earthy note that adds a layer of restraint to the exuberant fruit.\n\nThe palate is richly textured and beautifully balanced, with dark fruit at the core and supporting notes of pomegranate, rose petals, cocoa, and a faint smoky character on the long finish. Despite its power, the wine feels remarkably composed, and it should reward further cellaring over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeyserville Vineyard is planted in California’s Alexander Valley, where warm days and cooling influences help old vines ripen fully while preserving freshness. Ridge works with a traditional field-blend approach, with Zinfandel typically making up around 70% of the blend, supported by Carignan, Petite Sirah, and Alicante Bouschet. The wine is matured for 13 months in American oak, with only about 10% new barrels, allowing the fruit and vineyard character to remain front and center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef ribs, barbecue, slow-roasted pork, or hearty mushroom dishes. It is best served at around 16–18°C, and while decanting is not essential, giving it 30–60 minutes in a decanter will help the aromatics open up and the structure soften.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRidge Vineyards is one of California’s most respected wineries, known for championing single-vineyard wines and old-vine Zinfandel with exceptional consistency.
