winemaker's notes:

Rich, suave, juicy and delicious! A baby Amarone at a fraction of the cost. The wine is passed through the the pomace of the amarone which lends depth, concentration and complexity. Ripassa is deep ruby red in color with a complex nose showing some dried fruit. Excellent body and texture on the palate with a lingering finish.

A Customer - Texas
Absolutely knocked my socks off. Full Body and Extremely smooth. Outstanding.
ronleano@yahoo.com - California
Had this wine on the waiters raving recommendation. Flashy, Fleshy, and Loaded with fruit. When you try this wine, do not mix it with any other--It's delicious and very special. Will be ordering a couple of cases today.
Troycen@cox.net - CALIFORNIA
I had this wine @ a friends house with filet mingon steak and wild halibut. The wine was very rich in color and complexity; it was the first of the night. The wine had strong notes of oak and dried fruit, very smooth, very different but good. The next wine we had was a shiraz, (not a good choice to follow) the zenato wine is special in flavor (rare) and I feel it should be enjoyed without another wine. Great with steak or fish a little sweet to the palliate but that was a good thing.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
