Comes on with time. Cassis, forest floor. Hint of peppermint. Spot on balance. Long. Eric Asimov/Paul Draper/ FFCoppela / Corison webinar — 4 days ago

Good God, what a sensational wine is this 2016 Geyserville field blend from Ridge Vineyards, a predominant Zinfandel cuvée with 17% Carignane, 7% Petite Sirah, and 3% Alicante Bouschet.

Totally hedonistic, with perfectly ripe blackberry, cassis, rich dark chocolate and steeped plum, intertwined with crunchy gravel, toasted spices and a delightful sweet tobacco note. The palate is full bodied but elegant, powerful yet perfectly poised, replete with youthful vigour, with a lingering - and totally unapologetic - sweet vanilla perfume that completes what is an exceptionally harmonious mouthfeel. It’s the sort of wine you can’t stop sipping.

Ridge’s Geyserville holds a very special place in my heart. The 2000 was one of the first experiences that really sparked my love for wine as a young waiter around a decade ago. At ten or eleven years of age, that wine was truly memorable. I’ve been hooked on Zinfandel since, though I don’t drink nearly enough of it. This 2016 is the first Geyserville I’ve had for many years, and it has exceeded my high expectations. I cannot wait to try this in ten or fifteen years’ time. — 7 days ago

Bright and young. Showing a touch of funk and underripe red fruits. Smells like it grew up mostly below the fog line, clinging to the coastal cliff. — 2 days ago

Tasting 3 new wines with Russell and Heidi. All 3 were recently bottled and amazing. This one just kept getting better with every sip. All of them will just get better with time. Impossible to pick the WOTN. Cool labels awesome wines. — 2 days ago

2019 vintage. Quite unlike any Grenache Blanc I've ever had before. Extremely lactic with sweet cream and vanilla yoghurt, lemon curd, golden apple, poached pear. Very well-made, but definitely not my style of white. — 14 days ago
