Old vine Napa, good fruit forward $15 napa zin although the is quite a bit of petite in it. A bit too aggressive on the oak and lacking great mouthfeel but overall 88pts.

Spicy, full body for sure, and leathery, soil feel with a earthy finish/mushroom finish. Good wine with food. I’m having it without (after dinner at bar) but beautiful flavor. Can really notice different flavors and appreciate art craftsmanship behind the production of it.

Let it air out for about 10 minutes. Was nice and smooth with a black cherry hint

Not as good as the Lodi OVZ but still a wonderful Ravenswood zin. (Has a bit more sharpness at the end)

Sweet, sticky blackcurrant and cherry, cinnamon and clove. Less impressive in the mouth, seems slightly hollow on the mid palate and a touch harsh round the edges
