Per request of GA here are my tasting notes for the '97 Geyserville I drank Sunday in celebration.

Awesome. This is full-bodied, jammy and chewy. It has layers of fruits including plums, blackcherries, mixing nicely with oak and spices that continue on a very good finish. This wine is nicely balanced and is drinking very well now. This is my idea of a great zin. Score 93.

I am now glad that people recommended opening this wine. I only had 2 bottles and was worried about drinking both and not having any for later. However, I now believe that even if I had half a case left they would all be gone within the next few months. I will drink the last one during the Thanksgiving holidays.

This is a great wine, like the 93. Highly recommended.

Cool, thanks.

One of my favorite Ridge wines of all time.
Sadly all gone now.

I agree completely. When we tasted this at the winery in 1999, I loaded up.

Only one left. Thanksgiving sounds like a great idea, Decanter.

As a fellow Ridge fan, I'm glad to hear the '97 Geyserville still had life in it. As an Ohio State fan, I was very happy to see what Boston College did to Notre Dame.
