Fueled initially by the inspiration and winemaking skills of Joel Peterson, aided and abetted by his business partner W. Reed Foster, Ravenswood winery has been dedicated to top quality, hand-crafted wine since the first crush in 1976. Every Ravenswood wine carries a unique vintage and vineyard identity in addition to the intense powerful – gothic – character with which the winery has come to be associated.
A key to Ravenswood’s success is their long-standing relationships with over 60 independent grape growers. Vineyards are chosen for their location, age, yield and special flavor characteristics. At Ravenswood, they are devoted to working with growers who share their philosophy about high quality.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, smokey and savoury character with added chocolate, peppery spices, and blackberry aromas. On the palate, those aromas come through with added mocha notes. Pair with BBQ fare, rich, mole-based chili, or even classic American-Chinese cuisine.
Method
Made from mainly Zinfandel and harvested from the Sonoma region, the grapes ferment with the skins in stainless steel for a short period before finishing in a combination of stainless steel and oak, prior to bottling and release.
