2002 Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel

[newsguy]

had a bottle of the '02 lytton springs to go with smoked turkey on thanksgiving. decanted 3 hours (the zin, not the turkey). no detailed notes, but can say the wine was absolutely delicious! old vine intensity and delivered wonderful zin fruit on the nose and palate. only negative for me is there was some heat noted on the tongue from the alcohol (about 14.5%, i recall).
