Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel 2005

Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe '05 Lytton Springs is a sophisticated blend of 31 parcels of Dry Creek Valley fruit that blends 77/17/6 zinfandel, petite sirah, and carignane aged in air-dried, American oak barrels. As usual the style is lush but with elegance. The tannins are firm but small-grained and slippery. There are gobs of blueberry black cherry fruit flecked with earthy briary undertones and a squeeze of vanilla. Delicious now but will it keep a decade with ease.Tasted: 29 July 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
