At or close to peak. I generally don’t drink Zinfandel as frequently too jammy, overipe syrupy medicinal concoctions. But….Ridge do it better than most. I’ve been drinking their zinfandels for 20+ years. Masterful winemaking and blending. Restrained dark fruits, strawberries, some vanilla balanced by a hint of acidity and pleasant finish. Enjoyable to the last drop with and later without food. If you have these I’d drink in the next 5 years.

Hard to find a better wine that Lytton Springs with ten years of bottle age. So wonderfully complex. The tannins are in a great place. The wood is in the background and inviting herbal notes to the wine. Balanced and restrained. Can’t ask for more. Awesome wine.
