1999 Ridge Geyserville

[winoweenie]

IMHO one of the, if not the, greatest Zinfandel bottlings yearly. From Trentadues' 100 year-old-vines of zin with a field blend of petite sirah and carignane blended with some young zin vines. This hits all the rite notes and still has another 1-3 before hitting "C above high C". Always outstanding, this fits the mantra of a fitting climax to a great decade. 92/ 90. 28 by the box. 14.8% alc. WW

Had another bottle today with lunch. Superb bottling that only gets better every day. No change in scoring. WW

Last of the mohicans for lunch yesterday. Not much change but maybe slighly more expressive nose. No change in scoring. WW
