Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel Geyserville 1997
Winemaker Notes:
Most of the grapes were fermented in small tanks with capacities from three to seven tons.To structure the ripe lushness of the vintage, we fermented eighty percent (twice the usual amount) submerged below the surface of their juice.The rest floated in the liquid, kept thoroughly mixed by daily pump-overs. Both primary and secondary fermentations took place naturally, without inoculation. After malolactic, the twelve blocksthat make up this wine were assembled and racked to air-dried american oak barrels, of which twenty-seven percent were new. The 1997 Geyserville is particularly well integrated, already exhibiting an open, complex aroma of toast, vanilla, pepper, and black cherry.The elegant, forward character of the nose, however, belies what follows: a solidly-structured, mouth-filling wine. Enjoyable in its youth, it will develop beautifully over the next six years.
