Score 18/20 · Drink 2002-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2018

84% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 2% Carignan. Lovely loamy, almost wet-pottery notes through the nose become more spiced and herbal on the palate. A lovely integrated mix of berries, barks, and spice – garrigue and fruits. Persistent acidity and quite a structural, stimulating palate. Lengthy. (ECB)

Younger and slightly fresher than the Geyserville, yet not quite as seamless or elegant, the 1995 Lytton Springs gives up full-bodied notes of plums, blackberries, smoked herbs and pepper, with more meatiness and spice developing with time in the glass. Drink this big, rich, powerful wine over the coming 5-6 years, and like the Geyserville, it will keep longer.
