As linked in WineTerroirist, SteveTanzer has a nice report in Vinous:
Tanzer:Geyserville/LyttonSprings

on a 6-decade tasting on the Zins from LyttonSprings/Geyserville vnyds.

Fairly interesting, but pretty much old hat to many folks.

Was just at the Lytton Springs facility in July, great setup and enjoyable tour. Still sitting on bottle each of 2002 and 2003 Lytton Springs. And one each of 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002 Geyserville.

Tanzer makes it sound like the 1999 Geyserville is ready but I am inclined to wait.
