Ridge Vineyards Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Sonoma 2012

Dark purple color. Nose of spices, small black berries, brown sugar, but it’s the finesse of the wine that impress the most. Same aromatic profile on the palate, the wine’s finesse goes along with its vigor and youth. Long finish with a little heat, but this wine is so good! Have to be decanted if drank now to lower its current strenght, but then so enjoyable. Excellent (91), but will be even better.

Blend of Zinfandel (70%), Petite Sirah (21%), Carignan and Mataro. Aged 14 months in American oak barrels,  25% new, 55% from 1 to 3 wines and 20% of 4 wines. Alcohol level of 14,4%
