The 2021 Lytton Springs is fabulous. Bright and vibrant to its core, the 2021 impresses with its poise. Readers will find a Lytton Springs that is very much in reserve, as opposed to the rest of the 2021s in this report, all of which are more approachable. Salivating acids and veins of tannin lend shape and persistence, but the 2021 needs time. Red cherry fruit, blood orange, rose petal and sage are some of the notes that linger on the close. Rating: 95+

The 2021 Ridge Lytton Spiring Red Wine (primarily made with Zinfandel) offers a potpourri of attractive nuances. This wine shows aromas and flavors of sweet spices, cinnamon, and blackberries. Try it with a rosemary, garlic-infused roast leg of lamb.
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.
Blend: 72% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah, 9% Carignane, 2% Alicnte Bouschet, 1% Cinsaut, and 1% Counoise
