Tasting Note

Vibrant and expressive on the nose, the 2024 Lytton Springs offers layers of blackberry, raspberry and dark plum, lifted by peppery spice and subtle floral notes. The palate is bold yet poised, with firm tannins and bright acidity driving its depth and precision. Accents of vanilla, liquorice and crushed stone linger on the long, refined finish. This is an elegant and complex expression of Lytton Springs, shaped by century‑old vines and diverse plantings, and has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next decade.
