Ridge's 2013 Lytton Springs delivers wild briar intensity with profound depth.
Dense purple core. Briary blackberry mingles with cracked pepper and mineral earth. Raspberry brightness cuts through tar-edged richness. Licorice root adds complexity without weight. Mid-palate shows remarkable density. Tannins firm but polished. Structure suggests decades ahead. This vintage captures Dry Creek's wild character while maintaining Ridge's signature restraint. Finish lingers with spice and dark fruit.
🍷 You crave California Zinfandel with European restraint and serious aging potential.
Pairs with: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, Wild boar ragu, Aged hard cheeses, Barbecued ribs with black pepper rub
