| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.1 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by OaktownRush on 10/16/2020 & rated 90 points: This was a little more open this time — blackberries, Graham cracker, hints of nutmeg and cinnamon sticks. Medium+ tannins and a little more blackberry pie filling. Well integrated palate with a really nice lift through the mid-palate that gives it both density and balance. A little bit limited on flavor intensity but nicely balanced.

Not to my liking but glad we tried it. (1344 views) | | | Tasted by tomlee on 10/26/2018 & rated 92 points: Crimson in color. 14.2% ABV. Big nose of brambly black and red fruits, baking spices and white pepper. Full bodied and powerful with gobs of acidity. Well balanced, Claret style Zinfandel, that finishes with a healthy dose of tannins. Blackberries, cherries, anise and pepper on the palate. Delicious Zinfandel from a historic vineyard. Best over the next 5-7 years. (1601 views) | | | Tasted by OaktownRush on 8/16/2018 & rated 90 points: This wine took and exceptionally long time to open up. After two hours of decanting it started to come alive. Understated with notes of currents and savory spice. Balsamic qualities for mouth feel. I liked this a lot towards my final glass and would like to revisit. (1541 views) |

| Ravenswood Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma ValleySonoma County, California, is one of the most important winegrowing regions in the whole of the United States. Vines have been planted here since the 1850s and, apart from the inevitable hiatus brought about by Prohibition, the county's relationship with wine has been prolific and unbroken.
Viticulturally speaking, Sonoma County is divided into three distinct sections: Sonoma Valley, Northern Sonoma and Sonoma Coast. Each of these has its own AVA title and encompasses several sub-AVAs within its boundaries. |
