Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs

€54.99

Lytton Springs has become synonymous with classic Dry Creek zinfandel. It shows potent, ripe boysenberry and blackberry, but also a pronounced rusticity and earthiness often attributed to its blending varietals; Petite Sirah and Carignane. Acid and tannin are firm, yet not overwhelming; in youth, at least, fruit predominates. This balanced, powerful wine becomes more nuanced with age, and it often holds for more than a decade.

This Zinfandel blend (with 15% Petite Sirah, 9% Carignan and 2% Mataro) has an intense purple juiciness, plenty of tannin from 14 months in oak, plus a slightly burly, rustic character
