Description

Winemaker Notes:- Ripe nose of raspberry, plum, pepper and chapparel. Blackberry, mineral and vanilla notes dominate the palate. Well integrated tannins typical of this classic vineyard add to the long finish.

RP93 Robert Parker\'s Wine Advocate:- Striking, intense black cherry and blackberry fruit with some spice and earth jump from the glass of the 2008 Lytton Springs, a blend of 74% Zinfandel, 21% Petite Sirah, and 5% Carignan. Dark ruby with a nice tannic overlay, the wine was aged 15 months in American oak. Spicy, impressively rich, with good acids and loads of concentration, this is a beauty to drink over the next 5-7 years.

CG93 Connoisseurs Guide:- Ripe, but not overly so, and carefully crafted with a certain claret-like polish that is the Ridge signature, this year\\\'s Lytton Springs bottling is a deep, very well-focused wine that keys on varietal berries with complexing notes of dusty and dry spice lending a little more range than everyday Zinfandel gets. It is nicely balanced with a fine spine of tannins for grip but maintains its sense of finesse and composure right to the end, and, if not so astringent that it cannot be enjoyed now, it is built to get better for several years and will hold for many more.
JD93 Jeb Dunnuck:- Even better is the 2008 Ridge Lytton Springs. A blend of 74% Zinfandel, 21% Petite Sirah, and 5% Carignane, the wine is dense and structured, with load of minerality that’s balanced by earthy dark fruits, smoke, and subtle pepper on the nose. Very pure and focused on the nose, the palate follows suit with medium+ body, good acidity, beautiful fruit, and an overall, edgy and structured personality. The fruit keeps this enjoyable now, but I think this will age very well. I’d give bottles 2-4 years in the cellar, and then drink over the following decade or more.

This is the last bottle from a case of six. All have been excellent and should not be missed.
