Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Ridge Lytton Springs 2016 Zinfandel im Juni 2018 wie folgt:The 2016 Lytton Springs is a powerful. dense wine. Black cherry. plum. lavender. new leather. cloves. licorice and menthol flesh out. Deep. plush and richly textured. the 2016 Lytton Springs packs a real punch. The 23% Petite Sirah is felt in the wine's darkness and overall gravitas. There is more than enough richness and structure to support many years of fine drinking. What a gorgeous wine this is.
William Kelley beschreibt den Ridge Lytton Springs 2016 Zinfandel am 31. Mai 2018 wie folgt:The 2016 Lytton Springs is also excellent. offering up aromas of crushed currants. plums. candied violets and baked clay. On the palate. it's medium to full-bodied. rich and youthfully chewy. with a crunchy core of fruit and fine-grained but firm structuring tannins. It's a bit more burly and rustic than the satiny. sumptuous Geyserville this year—no surprise. given that the blend contains fully 23% Petite Sirah (alongside 69% Zinfandel. 6% Carignane and 2% Mataro).
James Suckling beschreibt den Ridge Lytton Springs 2016 Zinfandel am 22. November 2018 wie folgt:This blend of 69 per cent zinfandel. 23 per cent petite sirah. six per cent carignane and two per cent mataro has an x-factor attraction. in that all components are elevating each other to greater heights. The sum is more than the parts. Attractive red berries with blackberries. blackcurrants and red plums. too. This is assertively structured and will deliver best from 2022.
