Ridge Geyserville 2021 Provence lanolin and aniseed top notes94+ 100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous The 2021 Geyserville hits the palate with a burst of dark red purplish fruit, sweet spice, lavendar, chocolate, dried herbs and American oak. I would be in no rush to open the 2021, as it is clearly an infant at this stage. The blend is 76% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 6% Petite Sirah and 2% Alicante Bouschet. The 2021 is a powerhouse, that much is pretty clear.
