I learned from this WB thread that these wines were actually made by Ridge. Delicious wines with years to go.

1993 Lytton Springs Winery Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley - USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (1/16/2012)
Pristine cork. Slow-oxed for 2 hours and then decanted for sediment. Nose is quite primary, with blackberry, kirsch, and baking spice. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Surprisingly fresh on the palate with ripe black cherries and blackberries livened by peppery spice and supported by really nice acidity. This seemed to get younger with air and some of the tertiary notes I detected early on (decaying leaves, forest floor) receded well into the background. Lovely wine and many years of life left.

1994 Lytton Springs Winery Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley - USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (1/7/2012)
90’s Dinner: Slow-oxed for about three hours before serving. Red berry fruit, violets and black pepper on the nose. Light to medium bodied with low to medium acidity. Fresh mixed berries and a bit of bramble. Quite primary. In a nice place but seems like it could easily go another decade or more. (89 pts.)
