2009 Ridge Geyserville Zinfandel, Sonoma County

| | TrackBacks (0)
Black tea, menthol, black licorice, dark berry and dark cherry nose. Sweet fruit, juicy, mild pepper and spice, a bit jammy (which I liked), mid-bodied but plush, terrific front and mid-palate fruit, long finish. Tannins are soft to not present. Terrific, mouth-watering acidity from first sip to finish. Perfect wine for summer grilling, enjoyable sipping alone. About $30. And I admit I found this one at Liquor City since I couldn't get it at my favorite retailer. (sorry!)

Nice writeup of older Geyserville vintages and a tasting: http://biggerthanyourhead.net/2009/05/02/fk-the-ox-tail-ridge-geyserville/
