THE SPECTACULAR RIDGE LYTTON SPRINGS!
“Today’s wine is one we look forward to every release because both the winery and the vineyard are California icons. I am referring to the 95 point 2019 Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel Blend Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Sonoma County, which is commonly referred to as Zinfandel, and it is primarily Zinfandel, but what I love about this wine is that it is truly an old school field blend. This vintage is 73% Zinfandel and 16% Petite Syrah with the rest being complementary grapes Carignane and Mataro. The first release of Lytton Springs was in 1972 making this the forty-ninth consecutive vintage! We were able to get a bit of a discount so we can pass that onto you; our sale price is just $35.99 for 2 or more bottles. Jeb Dunnuck
calls it a ‘beauty’ and notes that while ‘the Geyserville Cuvee has eclipsed the Lytton Spring in most vintages in the past decade, that's not the case in 2019.’ This is the highest score he's ever awarded to the Lytton Springs Zinfandel blend! It's a wine that goes with everything from pizza and pasta to anything on the grill. Stock up before it is gone!” – Glen Knight, The Wine House
