The Zinfandel that collectors cellar like fine Bordeaux - from a Dry Creek Valley vineyard of vines well over a century old.
Only 3 left

Ridge is one of California's most respected wineries, and Lytton Springs is one of its great old-vine reds. The estate sits on the benchland between Dry Creek and Alexander Valley, planted with Zinfandel and its traditional partners - some of the vines well over a hundred years old, dry-farmed and tended by hand.

Like all Ridge's heritage reds it is a field blend: Zinfandel leads, with Petite Sirah, Carignane and a little Alicante Bouschet and Mataro grown together and picked together. The winemaking is deliberately old-fashioned - natural yeasts, then sixteen months in air-dried American oak - so the wine tastes of the vineyard rather than the cellar.

The result is dark and spicy but not heavy: black cherry, wild raspberry and cracked pepper, with a savoury, herbal edge and a freshness that keeps it lively. It drinks well now and ages for well over a decade. Serve at cool room temperature.

The 2022 Vintage

The 2022 is a landmark - Ridge's 50th Lytton Springs - and it lives up to the occasion. A warm, low-yielding year gave small, concentrated berries and a rich, full-flavoured wine: black cherry, plum and spice wrapped in deep but polished tannins. There's real power here, balanced by Lytton's signature freshness, and it will age effortlessly for well over a decade.

Drink: now - 2038

The Fulham Wine Co Take

Lytton Springs is one of the few Zinfandels in the world that serious collectors lay down for the long haul, and it has earned that reputation the hard way - decades of consistency from the same historic vineyard. It skips the sweet, heavy style the grape is often saddled with in favour of structure, spice and freshness. If you think you don't like Zinfandel, this is the bottle that changes your mind.

Sonoma County

Sonoma is one of California's most varied wine counties - a vast sweep of valleys, coastline and redwood country running from the cool Pacific shore to warm inland hills. That range is the whole point: cold fog reaches deep inland to give crisp Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the coast, while old-vine Zinfandel and ripe Cabernet come off the warmer sites, each from its own pocket. A working, farm-country wine region with something of everything.
