Ridge Lytton Estate Petite Sirah

The Ridge Vineyards Lytton Estate Petite Sirah 2021 is a powerful, full-bodied red from Sonoma County, California, crafted entirely from Petite Sirah grown at the historic Lytton Estate vineyard. Aged for 16 months in mostly seasoned American oak, it delivers intense aromas of blackberry, cracked pepper, violets and cocoa. On the palate, it’s firmly structured with gripping tannins and vibrant acidity, layered with notes of cinnamon, black pepper, and dark berries.

The wine’s depth is reflected in critical acclaim: Wine Advocate awarded it 92 points, noting its complex character of tar, struck flint, wild thyme and coffee grounds, while Wine Enthusiast (90 points) emphasised its savoury, earthy qualities. Deep and inky in appearance, this Petite Sirah is made for ageing—best enjoyed over the next 10 to 15 years—and pairs beautifully with rich, boldly spiced dishes or fatty cuts of meat.
