Verkostungsnotiz von Antonio Galloni von Juni 2019:
The 2017 Zinfandel Geyserville exudes energy. but it is also very tight and closed in on itself. Time in the glass helps the wine open up. but only to a limited extent. Pretty scents of leather. savory herbs. spice and earthiness hint at what is to come. Readers should plan on being patient. but Ridge lovers know that. In most years. Geyserville starts hitting its stride around age ten.

A first look at the 2017 Geyserville Proprietary Red Wine revealed immense promise. Despite having been in barrel for a mere six months. it's already offering up complex aromas of raspberries. blackberries and exotic spice. On the palate. it's medium to full-bodied. pure and succulent. with superb concentration. a lovely line of ripe acidity and a chalky. fine-grained finish. The wine attained 14.7% alcohol. and Baugher believes it will be one of the best renditions of Geyserville in a decade.
