Spring 2026 Releases - Marketing Materials
The following are wholesale resources and marketing materials for our Spring 2026 Releases. Additional information relating to the individual wines can also be found on their respective wine pages. If available, shelf talkers and sell sheets can also be found on the individual wine pages (under POS Materials).
2025 Heringer Chenin Blanc
Clarksburg has come to be recognized as a remarkable location to grow chenin blanc in California. Warm days are cooled by an afternoon breeze from the southwest, carrying brisk air from the Pacific Ocean. Summer temperatures allowed the grapes full maturity at lower levels while preserving firm acidity. Brief skin contact before fermentation enhanced aromatic complexity. Enjoyable now, it will develop further over the next four years. SR (11/25)
2025 Lytton Estate Rosé
A third year of above-average rainfall replenished the vines. Six picks in order of ripeness began on August 22nd with young cinsaut from Lytton East. This block brought natural acidity from the lower sugar and pH. The final rosé pick, on October 6th, was ripe mataro and grenache from young vines at Lytton West. Pure, elegant fruit flavors highlight this expression of our Estate vineyard. SR (11/25)
2024 Estate Chardonnay
High winds during flowering reduced yields by twenty percent. In late August a week of warm weather pushed ripeness forward. All seven small blocks were harvested the first week of September in just three days. Well defined, with ripe fruit and citrus notes typical of Monte Bello, this mountain-grown Chardonnay will develop fully over six years. JO (11/25)
2024 Paso Robles Zinfandel
Despite delayed budbreak, sustained summer heat quickly ripened the grapes for a late August harvest. Natural yeast fermentations completed within seven days. After pressing, the wine began malolactic in tank but was then sent to barrel to finish. Aging in twenty percent new American oak adds spice to the abundant fruit. Sensuous and immediately pproachable, this classic Paso Robles Zinfandel can be enjoyed over the next six to seven years. JO (10/25)
2024 East Bench Zinfandel
This twenty-five-year-old zinfandel site set a generous crop. Abundant winter rain, followed by warm, consistent conditions, assisted in rejuvenating the vines. The vineyard’s increasing age now confers deep fruit flavors, intense depth and complexity on the wine. An excellent example of both varietal and site, this classic Zinfandel will be at its best over the next seven years.
2024 Geyserville Vineyard
A rainy winter, mild spring, and warm summer advanced ripening. Harvest began early on August 30th and finished by September 14th. After malolactic, individual lots were selected, assembled, and racked to American oak for thirteen months. This wine shows the unique expression of soil and microclimate coupled with the complexity of a field blend. Delicious. JO (12/25)
note: This year’s Geyserville release is the same Geyserville that RIDGE has been producing since 1966. We added “vineyard” to the front label in 2024 to differentiate the historic Geyserville Vineyard from the town of Geyserville.
2023 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Heavy winter rains ended our three-year drought. Due to an unusually cool growing season, harvest was late; beginning in October and not finishing until mid-November. We extended fermentations to better extract full color while balancing the tannins and firm acidity. In tasting, we selected the most approachable lots from the Monte Bello vineyard for the Estate. This appealing vintage will be at its best over the next fifteen years. JO (4/25)
