Ridge's 2011 Lytton Springs hits peak drinking window with gorgeous complexity.
Briary bramble jumps from glass. Black pepper crackles through ripe raspberry core. Tar and licorice weave into concentrated mid-palate. Petite Sirah adds backbone without overwhelming Zinfandel's wild berry charm. Carignane brings savory herb notes. Finish lingers with spiced warmth. Drinking beautifully now through 2025.
