Silk and tart like...my soul? Maybe. Probably not my soul is silk and umami. Ravenswood doesn’t disappoint. This one one of my first top o’ the line R-woods. It is berry rich and carries undertones of semi-raw white peach which is to say pleasantly bitingly acid and a wee bit floral. Ooh. Ah. Love it.

A superb zin that's the softest of Ravenwood's 3 single-vineyard zins tasted (also Barricia and Teldeschi), but delivers the goods with lush berries, tobacco and pepper. -- Wineshout.com

Love me some Belloni Zin. Rich, big, round- all the soft elegant jam spread nice and thin.

Blast from the past, drank a ton of Ravenswood back in the day but a 1994 now? All together Zin and drinking on the young side. It had some nice red fruits and cedar.

2011. Baking spices and tangy blackberries in the nose. Intense, lipsmackingly tangy blackberry fruit and great acids.

This remains one of my favorites in the Ravenswood line because of its approachability. Soft and juicy with wonderful brambleberry, blackberry, raspberry and blueberry flavors along with soft oak and spice with just enough acidity to keep it from being flabby or fat.

Pretty soft, but good fruit. Slightly underwhelming on the finish
