Ridge Vineyards Lytton Estate Petite Sirah 2019 750ml
Petite sirah is a close relative to syrah. Like syrah, it is a dark colored grape that yields wines with floral aromas, deep color and full, rich tannins. To moderate tannins, we fermented the grapes destemmed, as whole berries. Aging in twenty-five percent new oak over sixteen months has softened the wine. Built to age, it will be enjoyable for the next twelve to fifteen years.
Looking at the 2019s, the 2019 Petite Sirah Lytton Estate is a beauty, offering a plump, fruit-forward, yet concentrated style carrying ample darker black fruits, chocolate, chalky minerality, and roasted herb-like aromas and flavors. It’s a big mouthful of a Petite Sirah that stays balanced and has good freshness and notable structure.
A dense and solid red with crushed blackberries, grilled meat and some smoked meat, too. It's full-bodied, tight and beautiful. Chewy. Real. Drink now.
This firm, tannic wine will need extended aging to mellow and show its best side. It boasts floral, charred and earthy aromas, and deep, concentrated blueberry and blackberry flavors wrapped tightly in a grippy texture.
