Wine Advocate 91 points - The 2017 Lytton Springs is made up of 74% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah, 9% Carignane and 2% Mataro. The blend is produced through hand-harvested grapes, indigenous yeast with malolactic bacteria, and then aged for 14 months in oak barrels. While very accessible and drinking well now, it will improve with age and evolve over a decade or more

A plush, opulent, densely textured, full-bodied wine that shows loads of black raspberry fruits, violets, shaved coco with polished sweet tannins. The 2019 takes over where it’s predecessor left off- a massive-over achiever. At once powerful and richly textured, it also shoes flashy acidity an great persistence in the finish.

The 1983 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a dark ruby-red color with brick-red edges. It has a nose of roasted red pepper, dried cherries and cedar. This Cabernet has a medium body and a medium length finish. This wine is past its prime and would be best enjoyed now. May need decanting due to light sediment.
