Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel Blend Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley 1997
Winemaker Notes:
1997 Lytton Springs Vineyard, Bottled Feb 1999. Anticipating El NIÑO by a year, the winter of 1996/1997 Brought serious flooding throughout California but with a difference: almost no rain fell after February. The Mild, storm-free spring allowed the earliest and largest set in our 26 year history with this vineyard. To ensure intensity and full ripeness, we dropped a third of the crop on the young vines, and ten percent of the old still achieving record yields. Taking advantage of unusually rapid color and tannin extraction, we let the skins float during fermentation, rather than keeping them submerged. Delicious now, the 1997 is ripe and rustic- classic, "old style" Lytton springs its lush fruit will be the most appealing over the next 5 years. PD(1/99)
