Ridge Lytton Springs 1999 is a distinctive mature half bottle from the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma County. This vintage is predominantly Zinfandel, approximately 70%, supported by Petite Sirah, Carignan and Mataro. Offering a focused profile, expect dark fruit components, particularly blackberry and black cherry, balanced by subtle earthiness and hints of spice. The American oak influence provides an underlying structure, while the half-bottle format encourages earlier accessibility. A refined expression, it showcases the ageing potential typical of Ridge’s field blends.
