Great dark color with lots of chocolate and ripe fruit. Lots of oak. Very nice. Came back and retasted this in the evening and still loved it.

A reference point effort from Ridge, the 2002 Geyserville Proprietary Red (84% Zinfandel, 12% Carignan, and 4% Petite Sirah) boasts a rich, sumptuous bouquet of blackberries, kirsch liqueur, damp earth, and licorice. Full-bodied and powerful, with good acidity as well as surprising elegance, this ruby/purple-colored, heady 2002 can be drunk over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (408) 867-3233; Fax (408) 868-1350
