In follow-up to the last post, about our wine tasting at Sam's house in April, the next wine was this '96 Lytton Springs. I love Ridge wines, and it was a pleasure to try a Lytton with some age. We tend to drink a fair amount of it from the 2003, 2004, 2005 vintages.
Jamie declared: "This baby's all grown up!" Featuring a nose of fig with hints of pink peppercorn achored with a load of spice.
Sam was impressed by the wine's ageability - letting it breathe for about an hour enhanced the flavor, yet it could have been decanted.
It tasted like an aged Ridge, but still has the fresh zintastic roasted plum, dried raisin, touch of cedar flavors. It is bordering on closing out, so it was good that we opened it that night!
