What makes Lytton Springs different from other Zinfandel wines?\u003cbr\u003eA. Lytton Springs is a field blend from old vines, combining Zinfandel with complementary varieties like Petite Sirah and Carignane. This creates greater complexity and balance compared to single-varietal Zinfandels.\u003cbr\u003eQ. Is the 2022 vintage ready to drink now?\u003cbr\u003eA. Yes, it is approachable now with decanting, but it will continue to evolve and improve with ageing over the next decade.\u003cbr\u003eQ. How does 2022 compare to 2021?\u003cbr\u003eA. The 2022 vintage is slightly richer and more fruit-driven, while 2021 is more structured and restrained. Both are excellent, but 2022 offers earlier drinkability.\u003cbr\u003eQ. Can I cellar Ridge Lytton Springs 2022?\u003cbr\u003eA. Absolutely. Its firm tannins and balanced acidity make it suitable for ageing 8–12 years or more.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/divinefinewines.co.uk\/collections\/primitivo\" title=\"Primitivo Wine Collection\"\u003ePrimitivo\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ewines, closely related to Zinfandel in style and origin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Divine Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"12x75cl Case \/ In Bond Price","offer_id":51591010877783,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/5334\/6391\/files\/Ridge-Lytton-Springs-2022.jpg?v=1757351700"},{"product_id":"ridge-vineyards-lytton-springs-2023","title":"Ridge Vineyards, Lytton Springs 2023","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 2;\"\u003e USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 2;\"\u003e Sonoma County, California\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eGrape Variety \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e76% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 7% Carignane, 2% Alicante Bouschet, 1% Mataro\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 2;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eABV \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e14.4%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRidge Vineyards Lytton Springs 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend – A Standout 2023 Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/divinefinewines.co.uk\/collections\/ridge-vineyards\" title=\"Ridge Vineyards Wine Collection\"\u003eRidge Vineyards\u003c\/a\u003e Lytton Springs 2023 is a benchmark Californian Zinfandel blend,\u003c\/strong\u003e crafted in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley.
