More About This Wine
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. Now, steadfast relationships have delivered a successful formula. As the old saying goes…if it ain’t broke…

($35) Saturated red. Raspberry and candied cherry on the nose, with pungent herb, spice and cracked pepper notes adding complexity. In the mouth, there's a refreshing juiciness to the sweet red fruit flavors, with silky tannins providing grip. Becomes deeper and darker with air and finishes on a note of blackberry, with very good focus and cut.
