This wine is from United States, California region, Sonoma County sub-region and Dry Creek Valley appellation. very rich, yet well-structured wine is appealing now;its lovely fruit will show to best advantage over thenext five to seven years. We made our first wine from this historic vineyard in 1972. Located onthe benchland and rolling hills between Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys, it is just north of Healdsburg, in Sonoma County. Today LyttonEast and West, purchased by Ridge in the early nineties, are separated by several small residential parcels. In the 1870s, under Captain William Litton's ownership, they were part of one property; the spelling evolved into Lytton by 1903. The vineyard is planted primarily to zinfandel and its principal complementary varietals: they include petite sirah, carignane, a small amount of mataro (mourvedre), and century-old grenache. After years of including zinfandel in a prominent position on the front label, we ceased to use it in 1993,instead placing focus on the distinctive character of the site itself. ZINFANDEL Wine
