  Robe bourgogne ambrée assez claire. Vin rond et complexe sur des arômes de chocolat, sang, torréfaction et boisé. Décanté 45min, prêt à boire.

  It had been a long time since my last Ravenswood Old Hill, but the wine brought back all the good memories. Ripe red berries, spice, a bit of bay and rosemary were all together on the nose, and then the palate amped up the fruit and spice. Medium bodied, it holds its alcohol well, though there is more than a hint of volatile acidity. Still, it’s along a line from the Ravenswood I remember, and in a style that I very much enjoy.

  Purple in color. 14.9% ABV. Stunning nose of red and black fruits, plums and white pepper. Full bodied with moderate acidity. Rich and plush with great texture on the palate. Flavors of raspberry compote, boysenberry, earth and pepper. Chalky, dusty tannins on an exceptionally long finish. Easily the most impressive Zinfandel I have had from Ravenswood in the last several years. Old Hill Ranch is the diamond in the Ravenswood SVD lineup. Drink over the next 4-6 years.

  Spicy. In a great place. Pour a glass and let the bottle sit for about an hour and you will be greatly rewarded.
