Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel 2019
Lytton Springs...just uttering that name makes our skin tingle. We’re drinking the 70s Ridge wines from our personal cellars right now, and even at 40+ years old, they SING. The exquisite balance in its youth and at a ripe old age is simply unmatched in the world of Zinfandel. The 2019 Lytton is stunning from start to finish, a wine we like a bit more than the exceptional 2018, which was the highest-scoring Lytton of all time.
Considering the price of this American classic, it should be in all serious cellars, in our opinion. How this wine costs barely over $40 is mind-boggling! So here you are! Just rated Jeb Dunnuck's #48 wine of 2021! We got the Ridge hookup!
