Review of Ravenswood Vintners Blend California Zinfandel
I’m not a wine connoisseur. I can’t even PRETEND to be one. A hint of wood cherry lemon grass shacablahblahblah means NOTHING to me. I could never discern those flavours. I’ve tried. Nada.
Ravens Wood Vintners Blend Zinfandel from California?
A damn good red wine. I would classify this bottle in the mid-price-range at around $17 per bottle, but; it’s worth every penny.
I just love its flavour, it leaves you with a great aftertaste, is not bitter in the slightest, and goes down smoothly.
I’ve only been drinking red wine for around two years because I thought I liked white better. NOPE! What was I thinking? Red wines are much more diverting to consume. Yes. Diverting.
The next time you’re at the LCBO, SAQ, or whatever your country, state or province calls your liquor board(or the corner store if you’re lucky enough), go and grab a bottle of this delightful red.
I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Enjoy!

But why white wine? Also, have you checked Chile’s “Casillero del Diablo”? They’re pretty awesome. I love those!

I have tried it! Our neighbour bought it for us once. I think I’ve always drank white wine because that’s what my mom loves. I’ve totally converted.

Followed over from DC and I totally agree! I like maybe 3 bottle of red wine and this was very yummy!
I was down in oregon and in April and my friends bought ‘Layer Cake’ not sure where it is from but i highly suggest it!
@bambooska my husband loves Casillero del diablo! but only the sav blanc
