Old Vine Zinfandel

2006 Napa Valley Zinfandel

The Ravenswood Old Vine Zinfandel is a delightful expression of Napa Valley's winemaking prowess, showcasing the rich characteristics of old-vine Zinfandel. This wine exhibits a deep red hue that allures the senses, hinting at the intensity and complexity within. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied profile, balanced by bright acidity that invigorates each sip. The prominent fruit intensity reveals layers of ripe black cherry and blackberry intertwined with subtle hints of spice and chocolate, creating a rich tapestry of flavors. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's longevity, while it finishes with a gratifying dryness that invites another taste. Suitable for hearty meals or savoring on its own, this Zinfandel stands as a testament to the excellence of Napa Valley wines.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
