Ridge Vineyards Lytton Estate Rose 2025
92 points Owen Bargreen
Sourced from this single vineyard site in Sonoma, the 2025 Ridge Rose is primarily Grenache (40%) and Zinfandel (26%). Pale in the glass, this offers honeysuckle water on the nose alongside bright red raspberry and Yakima cherry notes. The palate is fresh and clean with a superb texture and nice sense of weight. Showing excellent flinty undertones, enjoy now and over the next few years. Drink 2026-2032.
Varietals:
40% Grenache, 26% Zinfandel, 11% Cinsaut, 11% Counoise, 10% Mataro, 2% Carignane
Winemaking:
Hand-harvested, organically grown, estate grapes; whole-cluster pressed; fermented in stainless steel, followed by a full malolactic on the naturally occurring malolactic bacteria; minimum effective sulfur for this wine (35 ppm at crush, 41 ppm over the course of aging); pad filtered at bottling. In keeping with our philosophy of minimal intervention, this is the sum of our actions.
