Geyserville di Ridge Vineyards è un vino iconico che rappresenta l'essenza del territorio californiano della Sonoma County. Caratterizzato da una complessità straordinaria, questo blend unico di Zinfandel, Carignane e Petite Sirah è un perfetto esempio di sapienza vitivinicola e terroir distintivo.
Al naso, il Geyserville offre profumi intensi e stratificati di frutti di bosco maturi, ciliegie nere e prugne, accompagnati da sottili sentori di spezie dolci come vaniglia e cannella, derivanti dall'affinamento in botti di rovere. All'assaggio, questo vino si distingue per la sua struttura ben equilibrata, con tannini morbidi e una buona acidità che armonizza la ricchezza del frutto. Il palato è invaso da sapori di mora, lampone e note di pepe, culminando in un finale lungo e persistente con sfumature di cioccolato amaro e tabacco.
Il Geyserville si presta magnificamente all'invecchiamento, evolvendo negli anni in complessità e finezza. Perfetto da abbinare a carni rosse, arrosti e formaggi stagionati, è un vino che riflette la storicità e la qualità inimitabile di Ridge Vineyards. Ogni bottiglia di Geyserville è una testimonianza dell'arte della vinificazione, capace di catturare l'attenzione sia degli appassionati sia degli esperti del settore vinicolo.

Winery history
The modern estate has its roots in the reconstitution of the historic Monte Bello winery: a group of Stanford researchers purchased vineyards in the area in 1959, and in 1962 the project was renamed Ridge Vineyards with the first commercial release of Monte Bello. In the following years Ridge expanded production with bottles from historic vineyards, and the arrival of figures such as winemaker Paul Draper helped build the company's international reputation; Monte Bello was among the wines featured in the famous tastings that put Californian wine on the world stage.
Production philosophy
Ridge promotes a single-vineyard philosophy: selecting parcels where climate, soil and grape variety are in balance so that the site determines the style. At the winery it favors a "pre-industrial" approach with measured interventions, the use of natural yeasts and transparent practices. The estate also states a commitment to sustainable farming practices and organic certification for some vineyards.
Terroir and vineyards
Operations are concentrated in California, with estates and wines from Monte Bello, historic vineyards in Sonoma County such as Lytton Springs and Geyserville, and projects in Paso Robles wine regions.
Awards and recognitions
International critical recognition: Monte Bello has appeared among the notable Californian wines in historic tastings, and the winery regularly receives high ratings from critics and wine publications.
