Vintners Blend Zinfandel 2017 - Ravenswood

The Vintners Blend Zinfandel from Ravenswood from sunny California, is a wonderful American red wine cuvée from Zinfandel (75%), Petite Sirah (16%), Syrah (6%) and other complementary red grape varieties (3%).

In the glass this wine shines in a dark cherry red with purple reflections. The fruity bouquet reveals expressive aromas of ripe raspberries, juicy blueberries and black cherries. The fruity aromas are accompanied by subtle hints of oak wood. The round, juicy body harmonises wonderfully with the fleshy texture. The palate is pampered by an abundance of wild berries and spices. The fine-grained tannins are well integrated and give this American red wine a very good structure. The finish is wonderfully long and very elegant.
