Pours a thick dark black with almost no head. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, molasses, and bourbon all playing nicely with each other with no one flavor overpowering the others. A very nice barrel aged stout. — 8 years ago

Great straight out of the bottle and paired with our tri blend burgers tonight! Black cherry, currant, mocha up front with plenty of lingering tannin and spice. Another solid big bold Zin — 9 years ago

Bold and jammy, everything a good zin should be. Blackberries, blueberries and vanilla with a smooth finish — 9 years ago

Is it possible to have an elegant Zin? Not big. Not jammy. Not high in alcohol. Medium bodied and balanced. Softly smokey, raspberry, chocolate icing, with a sweet medium length finish. Over 3 nights. Well appreciated. — 9 years ago

2013 Juvenile Zin. Blended from 15 vineyards, but nothing over 25 years old. Big, raspberry, currant, cinnamon aromas. Taste is more restrained with currant, blackfruit, and a mineral edge. Tastes cooler than its 15.4% self. — 10 years ago

The good stuff, old school peppery black fruit zin, with rabbit tobacco and rain touched moss on the nose, adding to the old school Clapton blues rifts filling the air at my hometown local bistro (SoundSide; check the fresh locally grown organic vegetables and our ocean ahi sashimi/homecomings can be so sweet, like owner/operator Lauren) all so groovy😎, not unlike Ravenswood, itself/themselves...

PS see next entry for food coupling! — 10 years ago

Great zin!! Big and bold, but not as fruity as many zins. Had it with a beef sausage Blue Apron dish. — 8 years ago

Big robust Pinot. Light silky mouthfeel with big and rich fruit. Blackberry in color and in taste. Jammy with a long lingering finish. Not a typical Pinot, drinks more like a zin/cab. Would give it a 9.0-9.1, but dinged it a bit given the price point. — 8 years ago

I love it when you can have a big, slutty, oaked up Zin and still have it come across as relatively restrained in the category. Some days you just want to go there with a grilled rib eye. Still could use a couple years to settle in, though. — 9 years ago

Gotta love Ravenswood wines! Not a big zin fan but this is good. Not to dry either — 9 years ago

Surprised by a red zin. So used to white zin that are fruitie that the complex flavor with more of a spicy taste won me over. I am a red zin fan. Light body with a big flavor. — 8 years ago

Damn, this 2014 vintage is now my favorite WA state Zin, period! Yes, it's hot (16.9%), but Zin is usually hot. This is packed with big, jammy black fruit that eases into sweet leather and peppery notes. This is freaking great!! — 8 years ago

Tasty!! Sweet, very slightly dry, strong cherry notes, with a touch of cranberry, cardamom, and vanilla. The nose is extremely pleasant, full of cherry and oak. Very, very nice — 9 years ago

Got a tremendous deal on this one. Nice expression of a CA Zin, look elsewhere for subtlety. Not the late harvest style, it's mostly dry despite its ripeness. 16.4% ABV allegedly, didn't taste as much heat though.

Winemaker's comment: Rich bouquet. Big, bright, ripe complex fruity flavors. Mouth filling. Balanced fruit and acid. — 10 years ago

I love zins, this is not a typical zin. If you don't like zins normally then hit this bad boy up. You might change your mind. — 11 years ago
