Ridge's 2010 Lytton Springs delivers rustic power with refined elegance.
Briary raspberry explodes from the glass. Black pepper and tar weave through dense fruit. Petite Sirah adds backbone without overwhelming the Zinfandel core. Licorice lingers on the finish with hints of dried herbs. Structure suggests another decade of evolution. At $25, this punches well above its weight. Classic Ridge restraint meets Dry Creek intensity.
