Ridge Vineyards already had an impressive stable to gorgeous old-vine sites, but they don't rest on their laurels. The Boatman vineyard is a relatively new addition to the line-up, yet it bears all the hallmark class and finesse of Ridge's other wines. Here's how the winery describes the vineyard: "2014 was our first release from the Boatman Ranch, located in Sonoma County between our Lytton Springs and Geyserville vineyards. In the early 1970s, Tim Boatman planted fifteen acres of zinfandel on the steep hillsides that surround his house. The rocky, east-facing terraces are ideal for growing intense, concentrated fruit."
