Ravenswood 2012 Old Hill Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Old Hill
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Ravenswood / Sonoma Valley

From a famed old site planted to 75% Zinfandel and 25% mixed black-skinned varieties, this wine conveys a minty-eucalyptus quality that tunes the acidity high against a medium-weight body. Austere at first on the palate, it expands as it goes, offering robust, dry tannins and layers of cardamom and coffee with time and air.
