About Ravenswood Winery

Ravenswood Winery has humble origins, beginning in 1976. This was the year Joel Peterson harvested his first crop of Zinfandel. Not from his own vines, however, Joel consistently sourced grapes from vineyards in Sonoma County and Napa Valley. At first it wasn’t by choice, he simply couldn’t afford to buy land.

89-92 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2001

Bright medium ruby. Highly aromatic nose combines black raspberry, violet, anise, bitter chocolate and eucalyptus. Dense but juicy, and still rather folded in on itself. Not weighty but very intensely flavored. Shows lovely sweetness and ripeness for this always-idiosyncratic wine. Notes of blackberry and eucalyptus. Finishes with dusty, spreading tannins.

Ravenswood's Zif's have been wonderful....we bought this on their merit and were pleasantly surprised. Perhaps a bit too early to tell, but certainly a decent Cab ....a bit pricy. Lots going on (hints of black raspberry with heavy hints of others like chocloate. Again, a bit early but certainly worth the a consideration based upon its sister success in the Zifendels.

Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in...

Varietal Image
Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon built its reputation on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Here, in the district of Medoc, the varietal is the key component of blended wines that also may include some Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and even Malbec and Petit Verdot. Moving slightly south, Cabernet Sauvignon meets Merlot in roughly equal proportions in the red wines of Graves. In both of these Bordeaux regions, the top bottles...
