We love half bottles at Bin Ends and firmly believe that no amount of quality should be sacrificed when choosing a smaller format. With this in mind, you can only imagine our excitement when we scooped up today's feature, the 95-point Ridge Geyserville halfsies! If you love the spectacular cuvées from this iconic producer, do what we did and JUMP on this offer!

Sourced entirely from the Geyserville Vineyard in Sonoma's Alexander Valley, this vintage is a blend of 67% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 10% Petite Sirah, and 3% Mataro, all organically grown. 2022 was a year of low rainfall which resulted in lower yields than usual, but the unusually warm summer brought forth exceptionally ripe fruits. The wine spent 16 months in a combination of new and seasoned American oak barrels. It is "deep ruby in color, with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, baking spices, toasted oak, and lavender. A fresh entry has bold red cherry and raspberry flavors. Subtle tannins and natural acidity lead to a long and pleasant finish." (winery notes)

95 points, Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2022 Geyserville sports a healthy ruby/plum hue (it's semi-opaque) as well as a rocking nose of ripe plums, blackberries, roasted herbs, pepper, and violets. It's beautifully textured on the palate and has medium to full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, and perfectly ripe tannins. It's a beauty, as well as one of the standouts in the lineup in 2022. Don't miss it."

94 points, Decanter:
"Rich fruit aromas, with pungent spices, ripe red and black plums, Christmas spices and notes of smoked cinnamon. The palate offers a fresh acidity which buoys the ripe blackberries and spicy black plums. There's plenty of structure for this wine to go the distance, typical of the house style (at least a decade)."

94 points, James Suckling:
"This Zinfandel-dominant field blend is ripe, delicious and lush, with light, spicy oak accents over plump blackberries, blueberries, and vanilla bean. Saturated and opulent but not fat, as moderate tannins and some raspberry-like acidity balance the full body. Drink or hold."
