  October 29, 2012 - Was impressed with this one in its youth and thought it may have aging potential. This has lot the freshness of its youth but hasn't acquired any particularly interesting secondary flavors, so it doesn't appear to be aging well (I also noticed that it has been filtered - no sediment - which probably didn't help). It's still very drinkable though and was a hit with the others I served it to. It had a pleasant nose of blackcurrant jam and chicory with no high notes. Mouth of prunes with a touch of bitterness. Coffee and charcoal with some plums on a long finish of 90 seconds.

  January 21, 2012 - CT taster Greybeard nailed this one, in his notes. Spot on review, and very good zin, in spite of what the other crackheads had to say.

  December 11, 2011 - Yet more confirmation that Ravenswood Old Vine Zin can handle a little age. A meaty nose with concentrated fruit and oak behind, a little unbalanced at first but mellowed with breathing. Good, firm texture with extremely fine grain tannins on the mid-palate to finish, which warms on the way down. Dark fruit (plum) and some oak with balanced acidity, a well integrated wine. 88-89pts.

  October 16, 2010 - Spiced black cherries, a bit flabby missing a mid palate that finishes in a reminder of cherry Garcia ice cream by ben and jerry's. Light to medium bodied that would go well with food. Drink now.
