Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs Zinfandel 2021 is a masterful blend that highlights the beauty of Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley. Predominantly Zinfandel, this wine is complemented by small amounts of Petite Sirah, Carignane, and Mataro, sourced from the historic Lytton Springs estate. The organically farmed vines, some over 100 years old, contribute to the wine's depth and complexity. The 2021 vintage bursts with aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, and raspberry, layered with notes of pepper, licorice, and hints of sweet oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with fine tannins and a vibrant acidity that lead to a long, satisfying finish. This versatile red pairs well with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, or rich cheeses.
