2005 Ridge California Lytton Springs Zinfandel
Take a sip. It demands another. And another. The 2005 Lytton Springs Zinfandel from the Ridge estate is one of the best in recent memory. Rich and opulent, laden with sweet spices, it has an elegance that few Zins achieve. Terrific with food, it can sidle up to just about anything wintry -- roast duck or game hen, stews or braised meats, ribs and chops, even a hearty soup such as pasta e fagioli.
