| 2011 Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 14.4% Price at time of purchase: $28.00 (from winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): 82% Zinfandel, 16% Petite Sirah, 2% Carignane Easily my pick of the 2011 Ridge Zins. Ripeness surprising for the cold year, elegant, and perfectly balanced. Juicy ripe dark berry fruit with a beautiful touch of cinnamon spice and toasty oak. Smooth as glass start to finish, yet satisfyingly full and long. Maybe not a profound as Lytton Springs can sometimes be, but not far off. - HK 2015-09-17 [Back] |
