WTN: Ridge Lytton Estate Petite Sirah 2017

Lockdown Wine #83. Inky. Grilled beef, black fruits, Middle Eastern spice mix - ras el hanout. A whiff of VA when the cork was pulled. A little bit of creamy oak after an hour in the glass. Lots of sweet, ripe fruit. Remarkably soft for a young PS. Popped and poured but good to go. A bit peppery. Somewhere between medium and rich in weight. Very attractive. Juicy.Not particularly long but good enough. Very nice with a Shake Shack Shack Stack. 94% Petite Sirah, 6 % Zindandel.

I am not sure I can say the name of the food five times fast.

Lytton Estate has been the juicier of the Ridge Petites. Sadly, with York Creek now done, it’s the only one.
