Ravenswood Winery
Monte Rosso Sonoma Valley Zinfandel


Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
A little mildew and earth notes on the nose.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red currants, cooked plums, earth, light oak, mildew, spices, wet leaves, herbs, black pepper, tobacco leaf and dark chocolates.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 27 year old Single Vineyard Zinfandel is not drinking at its best any longer. Interesting to try, but lost most of its fruits by now.
15% alcohol by volume.
87 Points.

A classic. Still has loads of fruit, but transitioning from zin berry to claret. Leather, spice, fine dusty tannins. Old Ravenswood from top vineyards rarely disappoints and this is no exception.
