Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel 2018

Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel is a bold, juicy California red loaded with black cherry, raspberry, blueberry and ripe bramble fruit. Hints of oak and warm spice add depth, while supple tannins keep the palate smooth and approachable through a long, fruit-forward finish. Generous without becoming overly heavy, it captures the rich, expressive character that made Ravenswood particularly well known for Zinfandel. A few years in bottle have helped its fruit and oak settle comfortably together. Pour it alongside barbecued ribs, grilled lamb, beef burgers or a hearty spaghetti bolognese.

What the winery says:

The 2018 Vintners Blend is a California Zinfandel with aromas of black cherry, raspberry and blueberry supported by hints of oak. Abundant ripe fruit continues across the palate, where flexible tannins contribute a smooth, easy texture before a long, fruit-driven finish.
