"A fantastic Petit Sirah from the iconic Ridge Estate. An intriguing nose of leather, fig and rose petal. Full-bodied palate with well-coated tannins, mint, black olive and a long minerally finish. This full-bodied wine drinks well now but will develop."
The oldest petite sirah vines on our Lytton Estate were planted in 1901 and the youngest in 2008. We made our first wine from the property in 1972 and until 2002 when we bottled portions of the petite sirah as a separate wine for a limited release, it had always been included in the Lytton Springs Zinfandel. In 2003 we made another limited release and in 2009 our first national release.
