PR酒評:
(適飲2013~2020) The 2011 Proprietary Red Geyserville (78% Zinfandel, 16% Carignan and the rest Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchet and Mataro; 14% alcohol) was made from grapes harvested between September 21 and October 3. It reveals more stuffing than the Zinfandels as well as attractive earthy, briery, spicy fruit, pepper, meat and black cherry fruit. While it is not one of the legendary Geyserville efforts, it is a competent red wine to enjoy over the next 5-7 years. (by Rober M. Parker, Jr.)
(適飲2014-2031) The 2011 Geyserville impresses for its silkiness and texture. Sweet dark berries, flowers and mint are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. The 2011 is a decidedly mid-weight, feminine style of Geyserville. Floral notes reappear on the finish, adding lift and vibrancy. The 2011 should drink well upon release and also age. To make the 2011, Ridge was especially selective and fewer parcels made it into the blend than normal, especially with the Petite Sirah. The blend is 80% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 3% Petite Sirah and 1% Alicante Bouschet. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2031. (Not yet released)
Indiana Jones and I have one thing in common – a fear of snakes. That is why every time I see the sign in the Ridge parking lot that reads “Beware of rattlesnakes,” I get a little uneasy. So it’s quickly into the tasting room for me. Winemaker Eric Baugher and his team have prepared a great tasting covering all of the Ridge classics, plus a few smaller-production bottlings I am tasting for the first time. This is a sublime set of new releases from one of this country’s greatest heritage wineries. It’s hard to know where to start, but the highlights are the 2009 Monte Bello, followed by the 2010, which will be released this year, plus some of the Zinfandels and Zinfandel-based wines. The 2010 harvest was not an easy one. The summer was very cold, as it was throughout California. Ridge was severely affected by August heat spikes that were crippling for Zinfandel. The wines that were bottled are the result of a severe selection of the best fruit that survived the heat. (By Antonio Galloni)
WS酒評 : (適飲2013~2018) Tart and appealingly rustic, with black cherry and dill aromas, featuring briary flavors of plum, tobacco and herbs that finish on a slightly earthy note. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and Mataro. Drink now through 2018. 8,000 cases made (by TF)
2.0~2.4 Terrible 難喝,直接倒掉
2.5~2.9 Poor 不好喝,不值得買
3.0~3.4 Average 普通,沒啥特色,不會再買
3.5~3.9 Good 好喝,有特色,推薦,考慮再買
4.0~4.4 Excellent 很好喝,令人印象深刻,直得再買
