The wine matured sixteen months in 100% air-dried American oak: 25% new, 40% one- or two-year-old and 35% three- or four-year-old. Ridge added 0.43 g/L tartaric acid; this is an addition rate, not a finished-wine tartaric concentration. Sulfur additions were 35 ppm at crush and 180 ppm cumulatively during aging, followed by pad filtration.
Tasting Notes Dark layered fruit, spice, full body and balance

2010 Technical Specifications
Alcohol 14.3%
Grape Varieties 88% Petite Sirah, 8% Zinfandel, 2% Syrah, 2% Peloursin
Region Dry Creek Valley
Soil Gravelly clay loam
Harvest Dates 4 September–4 October 2010
Brix at Harvest 26.0°
Estate Grown Yes
Vine Age Petite Sirah planted 1901–1998 at Lytton East and 1987–2001 at Lytton West
Natural Yeast Yes
Maceration 9 days
Bottling Date March 2012
Contains Added Sulfites Yes
Production Details Hand-harvested estate grapes were destemmed, partially crushed and naturally fermented, then pressed after nine days. After full malolactic fermentation, the wine matured fourteen months in air-dried American oak. The barrel shares printed on the sheet—15% new, 45% one- or two-year-old, 25% three-year-old and 25% four-year-old—total 110%, so the source's oak distribution is internally inconsistent and no reconciled proportions are proposed. Ridge added 75 mg/L calcium carbonate to moderate high acidity; this is a treatment rate, not a finished-wine acidity measurement. Sulfur additions were 35 ppm at crush and 190 ppm cumulatively during aging, followed by pad filtration. Reported vineyard yield was 1.5 to more than 3 tons per acre.
