2021 | Ridge Vineyards Geyserville | Alexander Valley Chassagne-Montrachet Cailleret It is a great apéritifToasted oak and wood smoke aromas lead to equally smoky, spicy flavors of black pepper, blackberry jam and maple in this full bodied, muscular and firmly tannic wine. Great to pair with barbecue and hatchet throwing. The Zinfandel grapes were supplemented with 16% Carignane, 6% Petite Sirah and 2% Alicante Bouschet. Best from 2025 2035. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
