1984 Ridge Zinfandel Geyserville Trentadue
BY NEAL MARTIN |
The 1984 Zinfandel Geyserville Trentadue is one of Ridge’s more obscure single-vineyard bottlings. This cuvée is a blend of 95% Zinfandel and 5% Petit Sirah that came from a vineyard established by Evelyn and Leo Trentadue. The couple became neighbors to Paul Draper in 1952 in Santa Clara after acquiring an abandoned parcel of vines at the end of Montebello Road. Draper bought fruit from the Trentadues in 1967, and seven years later, he bought their mountaintop winery. The vines are the oldest within the Geyserville, some dating back to 1886. Around 30 barrels were produced.
