Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel 750ml
2015 Lytton Springs, bottled January 2017
Rain during the first week of April, through welcome, disrupted flowering reducing yeilds. The fruit ripened quickly in the warm summer weather. Harvest began August 17, the earliest ever. They managed extraction of color and tannin by limiting pump-overs to once daily. after malolactic, they chose twenty-four of the thirty-three separate fermentations for their concentrated fruit and elegant structure. This excellent vintage is appealing now and will improve over the next ten years.
