From the series of Ravenswood library sales, I admit that I don’t know which of the three sales this came from. Never mind that it’s a pretty astounding showing for a 25 year old regional Zinfandel. It’s still full of cherry fruit, veering towards Kirsch, but not hot in any way, just elevate aromatics, and a liquorous feel on the palate that isn’t hot, but more penetrating. It’s not the most complex wine, but it’s a perfect companion to a relaxed mid-week evening. Drink soon and enjoy if you were lucky enough to get one.

Old zin is not popular. This wine had lost its fruity zip but developed characteristics similar to those of older Bordeauxs.
