| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by S3 on 1/28/2018 & rated 90 points: Balanced. Good body. Spicy and good fruit but not “in your face” (804 views) | | | Tasted by ecola on 1/20/2016 & rated 89 points: Medium to full body. Takes thirty minutes to open up. Dark yet restrained fruit. Not the jammy style. A little more elegant. Drink now.

On the nose, some red berries and hints of herbs and chocolate, but they play second fiddle to a massive florality - violets, violets, and did I mention violets? On the palate, we have more violets, minty herbality and a bit of red cherries (which increase with air/warmth), as well as some cedar wood and wee bits of chocolate and coffee. Tannins are rather soft but good acidity lends structure.
Served somewhat chilled (45 minutes or so in the fridge which it think was good for it) with barbecued pork and veggies, a good match.

Black cherries in the nose, not as expressive as the Old Hill or Belloni. Nice tanginess to the acid, lighter tannins, but nicely drying. Red currants and plums, tangy, some clay-earth notes. A bit weak perhaps, but tasty. 100% Zin, 19 months in 25% new French oak.

| 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
