This marvelous vintage of ‘Geyserville’ blends 76% Zinfandel with 16% Carignane and smaller portions Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and Mataro. This shows a Bordelaise elegance even already after two years in the cellar. Roasted dates, wild blackberry, espresso grounds and fine grained tannins. This is a beauty that is just an infant right now and really needs another year in the bottle before consuming. Drink 2024-2045.

The 2021 Geyserville hits the palate with a burst of dark red/purplish fruit, sweet spice, lavender, 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 Syrah and 2% Alicante Bouschet. The 2021 is a powerhouse, that much is pretty clear.
 
Winemaker Notes
Ripe cranberry and cassis on the nose. Focused dark bramble fruit on the palate, layered with cocoa and clove. Vibrant acidity balances beautifully with opulent fruit and carries through to a long and elegant finish.
