Ridge Lytton Spring 2020

Zinfandel from Lytton Springs, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California

Winemaker Notes

Rich blackberry and plum on the nose with notes of aniseed. Full-bodied with dark bramble fruit and well-coated tannins on the palate. The long finish reveals layers of black licorice and dried sage. Plentiful rain in early November and December subsided by January. Late spring rains during flowering reduced fruit set across all varieties, especially petite sirah. Thirty-eight blocks were picked at ideal ripeness over four weeks from August to September. Of these, twenty-six were selected for their rich black fruit and perfectly balanced structure. This classic Lytton Springs will be enjoyable over the next ten years.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with butchers steak with red wine reduction, smoked goat cheese crema, and walnuts.
