Ravishing Raven

Sine Qua Non

Raven Series No. 8 Grenache 2006

An absolutely stunning expression of Grenache that has completely resolved and gained an array of un-Krankl like subtlety in secondary notes too numerous to count. Black tea. Strawberry. Leather musk. Next level, 8-10 years left at least to evolve. — a year ago

Great to hear. So hard to hold them!

Keplinger

Lithic Shake Ridge Vineyard Grenache Blend 2016

Double decant and pour(little cloudy sediment). A ravishing dark ruby red color for this GSM blend from Amador county California. On the nose: Raspberry jam, earthy, pepper, floral, and a touch of caramel. Taste: bing cherry, wet leaves, raspberry, and mushrooms. Velvety tannins lead the charge to a medium plus finish. Drink now or give it just a few more years.. yum, get some Keplinger! — 5 years ago

Durant Vineyards

Raven Dundee Hils Chardonnay 2013

Lemon verbena and minerality dominate the high tone nose. Playful and light across the palate, but has gorgeous depth to fill all the surfaces. A lingering and nuanced finish. Can’t wait to put my efforts into these vines. Thanks Isabelle for this vintage. — 6 years ago

Raven Series No. 1 Grenache 2006

Needed a longer decant but wonderful. Dad was skeptical “Grenache - what’s that?”. You have had it before dad, it’s good. Skeptical/irritated look. Ok, very little. Converted. Back three times for “just a little/ah might as well/yeah finish it off”. Kept it at his end of the table. — 6 years ago

The Vinoneers

Pinotage, cinsault and Pinot. A very good, well integrated blend. Just the right amount of smoke and old mineral. Baked cranberry and strawberry. Will be even better with a few years. — 4 years ago

Two Hands

Angels' Share McLaren Vale Shiraz 2004

Great Odin’s Raven! Every bottle of this high quality, yet entry level Two Hands Shiraz, gets better than the last!
No longer that familiar black-purple ink color, rather the bricking is now a fine garnet. I could smell this all day! Aromas of tar, creosote, black plum, stewed blackberries, and a high end of wildflowers. Tar, olive juice, dark fruits with a touch of citrus oil all wonderfully mixed. I certainly think the screwcap helped the longevity, but the balance of acidity and silken tannins did their parts well.
