2007 Ridge Syrah Lytton Estate

Wow! This was amazing start to finish. Capsule was a bit stuck to the bottle, cork showed a bit of saturation which gave me some concern. First sip immediately after opening screamed youth. Vibrant and fresh. Maybe the 12% Viognier amplified it? Violets and faint leather intermingled with black/blue fruits. Stayed consistent for 2 days. I’ve had many a Lytton Syrah and this clearly the best.

I’ve been trying to reduce some older wines from my cellar and this stood out as a candidate for liquidation. The CT community seems to be split on where this wine is in its development so I was torn on what to do. Since this is Mouvedre dominate which I consider to have midterm age ability then followed by Grenache on the short to midterm side with a dollop of Syrah I decided it was good to go. For me this was in the right place. Sleek red berry fruits with some hints of funk and herbs. Lighter than I anticipated. Consumed over 2 days. Of course I’m curious where this would be in 5 more years but sometimes you just gotta pull the trigger.
