  27th Anniversary Cellar Pull. Ravenswood wines age gracefully and this 1997 Monte Rosso vineyard Zinfandel was no exception! Mostly tertiary, but still holding on to some primary fruit. The palate is still lively with silky tannins and a beautiful acid streak lasting into the long finish. The only downfall was the amount of sediment that had fallen out.

  Opened for my 50th birthday. It was garnet in color with bricking at the edges. I didn't take very good notes, but there was still primary fruit and plenty of acidity left to give it structure and lift.

  Not as expressive as I had hoped, but still a delicious wine. Red fruit, licorice, herbs, pepper, and Sonoma dust on the nose. Medium to full-bodied with acidity and tannins in balance. So long on the finish with tastes mirroring those on the nose. On day 2, this was just as tight and not wanting to let go of it's secrets. I'd give it another 2-3 years before it hits full stride.
