| 1999 Ridge Vineyards Lytton Estate Grenache Dry Creek, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 88 Alcohol by volume: 14.7% Price at time of purchase: $22.00 (Ridge ATP) Type: Grenache Principal varietal(s): 78% Grenache, 17% Zin, 5% Petite Sirah Serious, deeply colored wine that needs another year or so to resolve itself. But even now a powerfully flavored wine that has a nose of spice, oak, roses, and a sweet orange-peel like note like Grand Marnier. Firmly structured wine whose fruit is hard to define -- cranberries? Licorice in the finish. Another excellent Lytton Estate Grenache from Ridge. - WB Team 2001-07-11 [Back] |
