First made by Ridge in 1972, it continues to showcase the estate’s signature style: deep, structured, and beautifully layered, with Zinfandel supported by Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine pours a very dark, almost opaque red in the glass, hinting at its concentration and intensity. Aromas open with ripe blackberry, blood orange, pepper, liquorice, tobacco leaf, and dried flowers, creating a highly expressive and complex bouquet.\n\nOn the palate, it is generous and full-bodied, filling the mouth with layer upon layer of dark fruit, spice, and savoury nuance. The texture is rich and powerful, yet balanced by freshness and structure, giving it excellent ageing potential over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLytton Springs Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley is a renowned site in Sonoma County, where warm days and well-drained soils help produce ripe, concentrated fruit with natural character. The grapes were sustainably farmed and fully destemmed before fermentation, then matured in American oak barrels, of which 10% were new and the remainder were between one and four years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a classic match for grilled and roasted meats, especially lamb, beef, short ribs, and barbecued dishes, as well as hearty stews and aged hard cheeses.
