Ravenswood Winery has been making Zinfandel from Sonoma County fruit for over 30 years. Zinfandel is a unique variety with a storied history in California, and the Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel is a classic representation of the region's best Zins. Ripe berry fruit in the nose follows concentrated flavors of blackberry and black cherry. A varietally focused Zinfandel with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla in the finish, this wine offers layers of flavor, a succulent center, balanced acids, and structural tannins. This wine is great with hearty meat dishes and vegetable stews; drink now or in the next five to seven years.
We’re known for making non-wimpy red wines, so this holds its own as well. A winery exclusive. Slightly effervescent... refreshing orchard fruit aromas of peach, apricot and clove lead to flavors of pear and lychee on the palate. Not heavy, but crisp, clean and a lingering finish. A party in a glass! Drink while young.
The Ravenswood Vintners Blend Chardonnay is a fine; medium bodied wine; firm and crisp on the palate with delicious, core fruit flavors.
Soft tannins and subtle oak contribute well-balanced roundness and the finish lingers considerably longer than you might expect. If Cabernet is Californias luxury wine this one is arguably the best.
Bedrock fruit has very pretty aromatics and high-intensity spice, says Joel Peterson, Ravenswood's founder. Hints of black currant and cassis, with a touch of mineral and cedar. On the palate, a spicy cherry, with subtle rose, tobacco notes, black cherry, and fresh herbs make this the perfect wine to pair with roast leg of lamb.
2012 Ravenswood Bedrock Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley TASTING NOTES Bedrock fruit has very pretty aromatics and high-intensity spice, says Joel Peterson, Ravenswood's founder.

On the palate, a spicy cherry, with subtle rose, tobacco notes, black cherry, and fresh herbs make this the perfect wine to pair with roast leg of lamb.
Cab credentials? No need to carry 'em. Our 2010 vintage is as real as it gets, with strong tannins and juicy fruit aromas backed by bold blackberry, black currant, toasted oak and vanilla flavors.
The 2007 Pickberry is dark and dense in appearance. Perfumed ripe Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot scents of red currant, cassis, cured leaf tobacco and musk herald the chewy cassis flavors that highlight the impressively dense, spicy, mineral- driven firm, floral finish. This wine will age to graceful elegance in 10 to 15 years.
