Maybe one of the best young Lytton Springs I’ve had. Wonderful and mouth-filling fruit, just enough sinew, spiced, great perfume, balanced oak (albeit young still), fresh acid and earthy charm. Balanced and should stay that way for some time, would love to see at the 10-15 year mark. Ripe black raspberry, wild blackberry jam, yellow peach yogurt, vanilla, dried meat, flowers, cloves, mint and clay. Nice length. A touch wound up but plenty of generosity to drink now. — 5 years ago

Inky purple with aromas of blackberry jam, plum, chocolate, violets, and menthol. Juicy dark fruit predominant on the palate with soft tannins, 14.5% alcohol, and a long, minty finish. Drinking a bit like a California Syrah or Aussie Shiraz at this point. — 6 years ago

This is a solid wine...the kind I would want to always have on hand for when friends come over and we are looking for a casual yet delicious selection. Nice leather, spice, black soil, and dark fruits on the nose. On the palate there is blackberry cobbler, blackberry jam, plums, and baking spices. — 7 years ago

Pretty insane. With a group that had two btls and besides the fact that they were identical, huge nose, anise, jam. Recommended that it is still young but sometimes you drink what's poured. :) — 9 years ago

Super wet and fruit forward, jammy, boysenberry, smells of hibiscus and cinnamon ginger cookies (slightly), slight sweet tobacco, lots of body and subtle jam, not too structured, fair intricate with the jam highlight, nice sort of see through color — 6 years ago

Wow, Wow, Wow! I can picture the cherry pie I had yesterday as I smell this wine in my glass. I almost feel like I need a fork! Great aromas of cherry pie and spice on the nose followed by really great tastes of dark fruit, mocha and grape jam. Tannins are very apparent but not overpowering. We are drinking this in lieu of desert tonight. — 8 years ago
