Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel 2006
Sonoma County, California, United StatesLovely enticing spicy, black berry jam nose bruised with bramble, chocolate, candied cherry, meaty, licorice and cedar nose. The palate is fresh with fine density and layers of peppery, licorice, spicy, black cherry, plum and cedar flavours with some coffee and saddle leather on the finish. Fine concentration if slightly warm, but why quibble with such bright fruit and acidity. You should age this for 2-4 years for best results. The vines are located on Lytton east where the zinfandel averages 100 years old.Tasted: 23 September 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $50.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
