2001 Ridge Lytton Springs California - Dark red with a purple tint in color. A fairly complex and interesting nose, with crushed raspberry and blackberry, flowers, spice, and a little earth. It is satisfying just to smell. Flavors of mixed wild berries, cherry, black pepper, thyme, and spice. Long on the finish, closing with some bright fruit and spice. Medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins. A very stylish and delicious wine. A blend of 76% Zinfandel, 17% Petite Sirah, and 7% Carignane.
