This wine powerhouse with 15% natural alcohol, this exquisite example offers a dark saturated plum/purple color. Sweet cedar, iodine, pepper, fruitcake, Rhone-like notes soar from the glass of this fleshy, massive Zin. Huge and rich in the mouth, yet neither coarse nor ponderous, it boasts layers of flavor, outstanding purity and harmony, and a whoppingly long finish. Already delicious, it should be consumed over the next 6-7 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
