2002 Ridge, Grenache, Lytton Estate


Dark. Strawberry and raspberry aromas on the nose. Big, concentrated strawberry and raspberry fruit flavors, moderate acid, some soft tannin, and a long fruity finish. The intense forward fruit was very good, but on the finish the fruit tasted slightly overripe. Still, this is a nice Grenache with loads of concentrated fruit flavors. 78% Grenache, 13% Petite Sirah, and 9% Zinfandel. 14.7% Alcohol. My rating 83.
