This attractive, medium to full-bodied wine possesses a spicy, licorice, earth, and peppery-scented nose, with cranberry/cherry liqueur-like flavors, some herbaceousness, but plenty of fruit, spice, and robust, exuberant personality. It is a hearty, mouth-filling Zin that boasts 14.5% alcohol. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Not surprisingly, Ravenswood has turned out a portfolio of powerful, full-throttle Zinfandels that live up to the winery's motto, "No Wimpy Wines." Tel. (707) 938-1960
