The 2022 Ridge, "Lytton Springs" Zinfandel, Sonoma was a Merchant's Pick

A Zesty Zinfandel To Kick Off 2025!

January 08, 2025

Here's A New Year's Treat!

We are rolling into 2025 with a rare Ridge offering, the 2022 Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel Blend from California's Dry Creek Valley.

With fewer and fewer Ridge bottles available for retail, we cannot stress enough how limited and exclusive Ridge Lytton Springs has become.

Dry Creek Valley is known for its resemblance to European terroir.  Add the succulent Zinfandel, and you will get tremendous complexity.

Savory herbs, orange blossom, cigar, clove, and spice-driven aromas and flavors, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless texture, moderate yet present tannins, and a great finish. "Toasted cinnamon sticks, bramble fruits and spicy black plums. The palate shows intense concentration, red and black plums, black pepper, muddled mint leaves and an undertone of dried anise and thyme." Decanter

We don't have much and may not be getting more.

Don't hesitate...

Shipping now in limited supply.  

Be sure to reserve yours.

Enjoy!

“Delicious and built to age.”

Decanter • 95 / 100

"This bottling marks the 50th Lytton Springs from Ridge, and appropriately, the wine is beguiling and intense—pure Americana and emblematic of Ridge's commitment to the heritage varieties and vines in California. Lytton Springs is home to 100-plus-year-old Zinfandel vines interplanted with Petite Sirah and Carignane, among a few other varieties. This bottling has become a standard bearer for the notion of California Zinfandel: smoky clove spices, toasted cinnamon sticks, bramble fruits and spicy black plums. The palate shows intense concentration, red and black plums, black pepper, muddled mint leaves and an undertone of dried anise and thyme. Delicious and built to age."

“The kingpin of Ridge’s Sonoma County heritage blends.”

James Suckling • 95 / 100

"This is the kingpin of Ridge’s Sonoma County heritage blends and it doesn’t disappoint. Equal parts fruity, spicy and savory on a full body braced by moderate tannins. Judicious oak spices like cedar and cigar box complement pure, ripe blackberries and raspberries and a dash of black pepper. Known to age well for decades."

“Fabulous.”

Vinous • 94 / 100

"The 2022 Lytton Springs 50th Anniversary is a characterful edition of this classic cuvée, notable for its élevage in only American oak. Exuberant cherry/berry fruit and licorice meet with grilled herbs, tanned leather, vanilla and dill, all energized by juicy acidity. This is a large-scale wine that will certainly stand the test of time. The clarity and precision here are commendable, especially packaged in such a broad-shouldered frame. Fabulous."
