2022 Ridge Lytton Estate Petite Sirah

Dark opaque black color, briary blackberry fruit nose with a hint of pepper, full bodied, well coated tannins on the palate, vanilla mint and floral notes with a long finish. 

Mild summer weather evenly ripened the petite sirah at Lytton West. By September seventh, the hillside blocks of dark, tightly packed clusters had accumulated enough sugar to begin picking. Five days later, the parcels at the lowest elevation were ready as well. Five of the blocks were chosen for their deep color, rich texture and complexity. This exemplary wine will continue to develop over the next ten years.
