Ridge Vineyards
Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend
A very, very nice bottle. Compared to my previous bottles this seemed to have settled a bit with more restraint and composure. Good development in my view.

Aug 16th, 2016Maturing, and more restrained these days. The oak, while still present, is integrating, and there's more earth and leather and less boisterous fruit. A touch volatile, but in an engaging way. Pretty nice.

Jun 16th, 2015Pretty mahogany color with lifted cherry, strawberry red plum, bramble and spice aromas. On the palate it medium-bodied and well structured with flavors that follow + a very nice minerality. Long finish

Mar 15th, 2015For me this was an intense wine with some hard edges. Winemaking seems more focused on structure than fruit flavors. Would love to try an older bottle.
