| 2016 Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 89 Alcohol by volume: 14.4% Price at time of purchase: $44.00 (Winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): 69% Zin, 23% Petite Sirah, 6% Carignane, 2% Mataro Fully mature, soft and almost shy in the mouth - surprising considering the high Petite Sirah content. But it has the usual Lytton Springs elegance and balance, with lovely plum and red currant fruit highlighted by sweet spice and a balsam-like perfume. I'm getting jaded in my old age, I suppose, but I'd have liked this wine to show a smidge more authority. - HK 2022-08-03 [Back] |
