Big and jammy with nice oaky spice and vanilla. Lacked a little on the mid palate but the finish was long and saved it

2012 vintage. Redolent of fresh raspberry, boysenberry and vanilla spice. Succulent and yummy. 100% Zinfandel from old vines.

Medium bodied with wonderful balance. The Ravenswood single vineyard Zins are among the highest quality examples of the varietal I've had. Wonderful balance of acidity and tannin, bright yet earthy red berry fruit flavors. With food or by itself, this is an excellent all purpose wine!
