Winemaker Notes

Due to the long ripening time and the penetrating intervals of afternoon sun, the Belloni Zinfandel is deeply colored with an intense odor and the flavor character of boysenberries and blueberries, mingled with the traditional spice and smoky characteristics of Zinfandel. The luscious qualities of the wine make it delicious and ready to drink when it is young, but cellaring for five to seven years will contribute substantially to the wines complexity.

    22% Mixed Blacks. Deep and convincing aromas of blackberry with lighter hints of raspberry and boysenberry are joined in the nose by suggestions of briar, dark and rich soils and a faint whiff of cocoa powder. A very full-bodied wine, as are all the vineyard-designated bottlings from Ravenswood in this Issue, it uses both ample acidity and a solidifying streak of tannin to find the right kind of balance for uses with savory foods and for up to a half decade of cellaring.

    Deep purple flavors of black raspberry and pomegranate fill the luscious chocolatey tannins of this zin. It's firm, juicy and delicious, to decant for slow-braised short ribs.

Ravenswood Gary Sitton and Joel Peterson Winery Image

Fueled initially by the inspiration and winemaking skills of Joel Peterson, aided and abetted by his business partner W. Reed Foster, Ravenswood winery has been dedicated to top quality, hand-crafted wine since the first crush in 1976. Every Ravenswood wine carries a unique vintage and vineyard identity in addition to the intense powerful – gothic – character with which the winery has come to be associated.

A key to Ravenswood’s success is their long-standing relationships with over 60 independent grape growers. Vineyards are chosen for their location, age, yield and special flavor characteristics. At Ravenswood, they are devoted to working with growers who share their philosophy about high quality.

Ravenswood Vineyard Designate wines are made employing what Joel Peterson refers to as “stubborn and impractical” Old World enological practices. Wines are fermented in small wooden tanks using wild, natural yeasts and punched down by hand three to five times per day. The wines are characterized by intense, spicy aromas supported by rich, berry flavors and long, clean finishes.
