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.

“A rosé of pinot noir from the Côte des Bars, this gains its color from a short maceration on the grape skins. The ripeness of the fruit comes through in exotic spices, like Szechuan peppercorns if they could buzz with coolness rather than heat. The red fruit flavor is tight and savory, without even a whisper of sweetness, lasting with gentle, quiet persistence.

Round flavors and balanced tannins finish with nuances of vanilla and star anise.
