2020 Ridge Lytton Estate Petite Sirah

Petite Sirah is most frequently a complementary variety to zinfandel in traditional field blends. At Lytton Estate, since 1992, we have made it as a stand alone wine.

Here in the loamy-clay soils, it thrives, producing compact clusters of very small, concentrated berries. The oldest Petite Sirah vines on our Lytton Estate were planted in 1901 and the youngest in 2008. 

True to the nature of this grape, the 2020 is deeply coloured, rustic and capable of aging for at least ten years.

Tasting Note: Velvety midnight purple envelops an invitingly medium-full to full body, with an alluring perfume of rich black currant and plum. Lush tannins, succulent bramble fruit, and a hint of cardamom spice and smoked meat create an impressively complex and well-structured flavour.
