The nose is layered and expressive, with ripe blackberry, blood orange, pepper, liquorice, tobacco leaf, and dried flowers coming through in waves.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and generously textured, with the fruit, spice, and earthy nuances echoing the aromas beautifully. Zinfandel provides the core of the wine, while Carignan and Petite Sirah add structure, lift, and depth. This is a wine with excellent aging potential and should develop even more complexity over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLytton Springs Vineyard sits in Dry Creek Valley, one of California’s most respected zones for Zinfandel and field-blend reds. The fruit is sustainably farmed and destemmed before fermentation, then matured in American oak barrels, 10% of which were new, with the remainder between one and four years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a superb match for rich, savory dishes such as grilled beef, braised short ribs, barbecue, lamb, or hearty mushroom-based dishes.
