2006 Ridge Geyserville, Alexander Valley Sonoma County, California

Ridge's Paul Draper is a past world winemaker of the year. This Zinfandel/Carignan/Petite Syrah.Mataro blend will live for a decade and yet it already shows its incredible charm and depth of fruit. Buy a vinous work of art today.
(Mathew Jukes - Wine of the Week - Daily Mail - 19-Sept-2009)

Looking like one of its swathy cousins from the heel of Italy, this 70% Zinfandel 18% Carignan 10% Petite Sirah & 2% Mataro has a distinctly Primitivo feel to it, with dense, spicy purple sage and tar fruit swelling the lush palate; the result no doubt of their ancient Carignan vines. Drinking now and over the next 5 - 8 years, along with a hearty dish.
