Ridge Vineyards, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) Geyserville 2022 ($55)

The Ridge Vineyards 2022 Geyserville is a blend of 67% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 10% Petite Sirah, and 3% Mataro. It flourishes with aromas of boysenberry jam, plums, grilled beef and dried lavender and hints of graphite. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with rich, floral flavors, a silky texture, vibrant acidity and youthful tannins. A long, spicy finish make it an ideal match for grilled dishes. This wine also shows great aging potential, likely to evolve and develop beautifully over the next decade.
