Wine Critic Review: 'Ravenswood wines are big and unapologetic. Our Zin is a robust red, brimming with mouthwatering flavors of spicy ripe raspberry, cherry, and boysenberry.'
My Review: With the first taste this wine had a very hot and alcoholic taste. I was able to taste the cherry like the wine critic review mentioned. I also tasted plum, dried apricot, and dried fruit. This was a strong, full-bodied wine with a bit of a kick. I drank this wine with pork chops at dinner. Drinking the wine with a meat dish took away a lot of the unpleasant hotness and strong alcoholic flavor. It mellowed the strong wine out and made it a lot more enjoyable. I did not like this wine at first, but it grew on me when I drank it with a meal. I liked this wine, but am curious to try other zinfandels as well. *Note- this is the first wine I had that had "old vines" listed on the label
