TASTING NOTES
Inky dark purple in color. Nose of blueberry, black pepper, cocoa, tobacco leaf and black currant. Full-bodied with blackberry, plum and mineral notes. Firm structure, well-coated tannins and a long finish. -Winemaker's Notes
96pts - Vinous
“The 2023 Petite Sirah Lytton Estate is exceptional. Shockingly approachable and expressive in spite of its powerful concentration, the 2023 lifts from the glass, vibrating with gorgeous purple florals, wild blueberry, lavender, blood orange and a brooding undercurrent of game and mineral undertones. Ultra-fine white-pepper-like tannins dust the finish, wrapping things up in supremely fine style. I’ve never tasted a young Lytton Petite that’s this yielding. This is a truly special wine.”
94pts - Wine Advocate
“The 2023 Petite Sirah Lytton Estate was matured for 16 months in American oak (20% new). It floods the senses with waves of chocolate-covered cherries, blueberry, sage, dark chocolate and violet. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled with pure, floral flavors, powdery tannins, bright acidity and a long, layered finish.”
93pts - Wine Enthusiast
"Concentrated aromas of roasted black cherry, plum compote, licorice, and violets pop on the nose of this Petite Sirah. The palate is full but balanced, with rich tannin and flavors of dark berries, purple flowers, and toasty spice mélange through the finish.”
