Purchased while on a wine tasting trip to the mountain that Ridge is on, though the grapes are from Sonoma. See the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BW7IeU1TPnHbTenC_iSD5etBMkqMyO75h6Skgew9aWQ/edit?usp=sharing Ridge Google doc] for pictures and tasting notes in general.

On this particular wine, the notes say, "2nd - 2013 syrah - fairly well liked, kind of puckery. Megan said it smelled like fruit and was really good"

Alcohol - 14.3% by volume

94% Syrah, 6% Viognier

To quote the bottle:
<blockquote>
45 Barrels Produced

2013 Syrah, Lytton Estate, bottled 11/15
A warm January with little rain started the season early. Water-stress reduced yields, yet produced grapes of amazing quality. Syrah and viognier co-fermented for five days. We selected two older vineyard parcels for their intensity, and a young parcel for its appealing fruit. After two years in barrel, the wine is wonderfully layered and rich. It will be enjoyable over the next seven to eight years.

Ingredients: Hand harvested, sustainably grown grapes; indigenous yeasts; naturally occurring malolactic bacteria; tartaric acid; oak from barrel aging; minimum effective SO2. PD (8/15)
