PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
The show-stopping new vintage of Ridge Geyserville will arrive shortly, and now is your chance to stake your claim on a few bottles of this collectible wine!

The Ridge portfolio is absolutely stunning, garnering countless accolades and high ratings from the wine press as well as legions of fans around the world. Demand for these wines has gotten so white-hot that allocations have become highly limited. With this in mind, Bin Ends has chosen to offer our spring release of the 2023 Ridge Geyserville on a pre-arrival basis to get it to you quickly and at the best price possible. 

2023 was a very good vintage in the Alexander Valley, delivering the iconic "Geyserville"  with ripe fruit characters, depth, and exceptional balance:  "Heavy winter rains replenished groundwater. Moderate temperatures during the growing season were followed by cooler weather in August and September that pushed harvest late into October. The extended ripening period resulted in a wine with dark fruit and supple tannins balanced by beautiful acidity. Enjoyable now, this classic field blend will continue to evolve over the next ten years." Winemaker's Notes (12/24)

The initial press on this wine is terrific. Check it out!

96 points, Owen Bargreen:
"The 2023 ‘Geyserville’ is a marvelous, silky blend of mainly zinfandel (70%) with 18% carignane, 9% petite sirah, and a touch of alicante boushet. Very dark in the glass, this delivers beautiful violet rose petals alongside mocha, tar, Cuban cigar, and notes of garrigue with loganberry compote. The palate is fresh and refined, with an elegant mid-palate mouthfeel and light dusting of salinity. Well-structured and weighted, offering plenty of depth and flavor density, this is a marvelous effort that has yet to fully hit its stride -  but the incredible potential is there. The combination of weight and tension suggests this will be very long-lived. Give this another year in the cellar before uncorking."

95 points, Jeb Dunnuck:
"A perennial standout for the winery that is produced for wider distribution, the 2023 Zinfandel Geyserville is a blend of 70% zinfandel, 18% carignane, 9% petite sirah, and 3% alicante. 2023 was a highly ageable vintage with great acidity. That freshness helps to define the wine's juicy core of well-mannered, supple tannins and oak. The wine aged entirely in 100% air-dried American oak, 15% of it new. It truly offers the perfect balance of dark fruit and freshness, within a full-bodied richness and structure still built for aging, as with all Ridge wines. Enjoy now through 2033."

94 Points, Wine Spectator:
"Robust and simmering with intensity, this red serves up dark blackberry and cherry flavors laced with black pepper, licorice, cardamom, and other dark spices. The finish is firm yet integrated. Zinfandel, carignane, petite sirah and alicante bouschet."
