So the confirmation is in. A large portion of the Zinfandel fruit used in the Sonoma Station is coming from the Lytton Springs vineyard. Ridge must be producing more on the property since they bought it in 92 (I think it was 92?). The only one I have tasted so far is the Lytton Springs. It is really tightly wound, one to lay down for a couple of years at least. Lots of stewed cherries and plums with some tobacco and a substantial pepper element. I could be imagining it, but I found a vague nuttyness to the vanilla notes in this vintage. Anyhow, as I remember it, the Sonoma was always a more quaffable style. I think it will be a huge hit!!!
