Ridge got its start in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Francisco, though this iconic red blend is made from fruit grown in Sonoma County. An innovative blend of mostly zinfandel with petite sirah, carignan and mataro, the 2010 Lytton Springs, though technically dry, delivers a sweet essence of crushed berries lifted by juicy acidity and lively herbs. It would sing with seared duck breast or grilled lamb chops.
