Pale ruby in color. The nose is different and a bit off putting. Oranges and strawberries but also a burnt/raisin note that covers up any freshness. Fortunately, this is better on the palate. It is drier than most of the white Zins tried. Citrusy, think pink grapefruits. Some depth. Kosher. Retails for around $10.
My first time trying this. I suspect that many who do give it the benefit of the doubt due to the name. Tasted blind, I was unimpressed. It's fine enough but mothing more. Pink/copper in color, clear and bright. The nose has strawberries with a slight decomposing fruit note. On the palate, this is think, light bodied with a slight strawberry notes. Dry. Slight tartness on the finish. 12% abv. This probably should be consumed over the next year. It will work better with food and would work with almost any food although the tartness might be an issue for a steak.
Ruby in color, slightly electric. Pretty. On the nose, there are light strawberries. On the palate, this is a dead ringer for cherry lifesaver candies. Its a bit cloying in a wine, but those who buy this are probably looking for this quality. Nothing offensive and would pair nicely with a light salad on a picnic. This retails for around $8.
Wow. It has been a while since I have tried any of the single vineyard wines from Ravenswood. This is great! Really glad to revisit these. Made in Dry Creek Valley on gravelly clay loam soils. 15.1% Alc but no hint of it. Ruby/purple in color. Clear and bright. The nose is earthy and dusty with black cherries and a bit of pepper. With air, an underlying char shows thru. On the palate, this is soft and smooth. It starts easy which is nice before picking up weight. Sour black cherries and some blueberries. The mid-palate has some black licorice too. Plenty of depth here. Medium
