Ridge Lytton Springs 2023 — America's Greatest Zinfandel

Ridge Vineyards · Est. 1962

America's Greatest Wine.
The Only Bottle for Memorial Weekend.

This weekend we celebrate America. And there is no more American wine in existence than Ridge Lytton Springs — farmed from the same Dry Creek Valley estate since 1972, made without compromise using pre-industrial methods, and now ranked the #3 wine in the world by Wine Spectator for 2025.

No manipulation. No shortcuts. Just native fermentations, open-top tanks, and air-dried American oak — the same way it has always been done. The result is a wine that has been making American Zinfandel the envy of the world's finest cellars for over five decades.

The 2023 is the finest in recent memory. Vinous calls it pure silk that "explodes from the glass." Jeb Dunnuck gives it 98 points. Wine Spectator ranks it #3 in the entire world. And we have just 36 bottles left of the vintage.

When these 36 bottles are gone — this vintage is gone forever.

"It explodes from the glass with dark blue fruit, lavender and blood orange peel, framed by mocha-like richness and a wave of exotic spice. The texture is pure silk, wrapping the palate with seamless contours... the 2023 shows remarkable persistence and poise. Built for the long haul." — Billy Norris

98 pts · Jeb Dunnuck

"Blending 76% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 7% Carignane, 2% Alicante Bouschet and 1% Mataro from an estate vineyard in Dry Creek Valley purchased in 1972 — well-woven oak supports a moderately ripe, medium-bodied frame of structured elegance." — Virginia Boone

94 pts · Wine Advocate

"Especially elegant and expressive this year, offering pure aromas of black cherry, blueberry, damp earth, sage, violet and cast iron... framed by fine, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity. It should be long-lived in the cellar." — Erin Brooks

2023 Ridge "Three Valleys"
Sonoma County Zinfandel

Ridge Three Valleys 2023

Ridge's most accessible bottling — and their most democratic expression of Sonoma Zinfandel. Blending fruit from Alexander Valley, Dry Creek, Sonoma Valley, and Russian River, made identically to their single-vineyard wines: native fermentation, open-top tanks, American oak.

"Generous and robust yet retains a sense of polish, with expressive raspberry and blueberry flavors highlighted by licorice and pepper." — Wine Spectator (Tim Fish)

2023 Ridge Grenache Blanc
Paso Robles, California

Ridge has made white wine exactly once before this — the famous Monte Bello Chardonnay. The Grenache Blanc is their extraordinary second act. Sourced from three west-side Paso Robles sites, blended with 14% Picpoul Blanc and 2% Roussanne, fermented in a combination of American oak, French oak, and clay amphorae.

"Elegant yet concentrated, with lasting acidity and the unmistakable Ridge house stamp. A wine that will age beautifully another 5-7 years." — Jeb Dunnuck, 94 pts
