WINE DESCRIPTION
For over 35 years, Ravenswood has been the stalwart purveyor of classically crafted Zinfandel, deriving its exceptional quality and soul from the essence of old vines rooted in the finest Zinfandel vineyards worldwide. The Lodi Zin, a testament to this legacy, boasts luscious, early-ripening grapes nurtured in deep, sandy soils, yielding wines that dance with opulent fruit flavors of blueberry and black cherry. Infused with notes of chocolate and spices, the palate is a symphony of rich complexities. The well-balanced acidity walks a tightrope, akin to the finesse of a high-wire act, delivering a Zinfandel experience that is truly extraordinary.

ORIGINS
Winery: Ravenswood
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
