During a recent lecture, my professor wanted the group to drink a glass of wine during the lecture. He was looking for a specific bottle of Ridge that I did not have. I did have a bottle of a 2008 Lytton Estate. The blend was interesting and both Chris and I enjoyed it very much. Sometimes you have to break the Cabernet Sauvignon cycle and try something new. I would recommend this wine to everyone.
