2006 Ridge Vineyards Geyserville **

So I've been drinking a lot of Ridge Vineyards recently, and frankly, it's starting to get a little difficult to tell one zin from the next. But there are differences, subtle, but they're there.  This Geyserville was nice, although if I had to make a choice, I mean if I was really forced to make a choice between these two, I'd opt for the Lytton Springs this year, but that;s not saying much, and only because the Lytton Springs had just a little more depth.  Anyway, this Geyserville, from 70% zinfandel, 18% carignane, 10% petite sirah, and 2% mataro, is not without complexity.  Strawberry notes, river-silky texture, and good underlying acidity, the 2006 Geyserville will be drinking for a decade.
