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…

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011
Bright ruby-red. Tight, pure aromas of cassis, cherry pit, rose and tobacco. Dense and rather powerful, with strong blackcurrant, bitter cherry and spice flavors. Sappy, pure and focused cabernet, finishing with broad, fine tannins and solid grip. This reminded me a lot of an old-school Bordeaux.
