From Joel’s library release: This is the 1988 vintage of the Old Vine Sonoma County. Still fresh and alive with all the complexity of thirty two year old wine. Sweet cedar and cherry on the nose; firm acidity and still somewhat tannic; good follow through on the palate with more cherry and cloves. Great wine!! — 4 years ago

At 10 years old, Ravens Wood Old Vine Zinfandel 2009 was delectable, divine and oh so delicious. Full of berry fruit with a perfect amount of spice. Lucky me! — 7 years ago

Fantastic wine!! Great color and nose with intense berry fruits. In the mouth rich flavors and intense fruit- mostly blackberry fruits. Great finish and goes very well with wild boar spaghetti sauce and pasta. — 8 years ago

Rich and somehow subtle - a little sweet and light at the beginning, tight and bitter in the middle, and all vanilla on the long finish...drinks well now but could definitely handle a little more age. — 9 years ago

HUGE wine! Can only imagine what this Zin tasted like on release. Currently at age sixteen shows dense red cherry and plum; intriguing leather/mushroom/tea like notes on the nose. Still very alive with firm tannins and has to be at least a percent or two of R.S. Great wine! — 5 years ago

I lean toward liking medium bodied high acidity wines with blackberries and dark cherry notes so I really like this wine. Cool marketing with interesting story. Great job Ravenswood team! — 8 years ago

Cranberry, cassis, persistent tannin. No bricking, no fading at the rim. If anything, this tastes austere. How is this 24 yrs old?! — 8 years ago
