Ravenswood Belloni Vineyard Zinfandel

*Two Stars* Fairly intense and not lacking for ripeness but showing nary a trace of chocolaty excess and convincingly keyed on very well-focused, blackberry fruit, the Belloni bottling is full and fleshy with a nice sense of youthful buoyancy and an ever so slightly lighter step than typical Ravenswood workings. That is not to say that it wants for richness or depth, and it has the structured feel of a wine sure to age famously. Tuck it away for three to five years and match it up with hearty pastas bathed in a meaty Bolognese sauce.
