Ridge Lytton Springs 2019

Ridge delivers briary intensity with surgical precision and haunting complexity.

Briary blackberry and tar leap from the glass. Black pepper crackles across concentrated raspberry fruit. Licorice threads through the mid-palate while mineral-driven tannins provide backbone without brutality. The finish stretches with smoky persistence and spice. This vintage shows remarkable restraint for Zinfandel - power channeled through elegant structure. Drink now through 2032 as secondary aromatics emerge.

🍷 You want Zinfandel with Burgundian soul and California muscle perfectly balanced.

Pairs with: Grilled lamb with rosemary, Wild boar ragu, Aged hard cheeses, Duck confit
