Award: Independent Wines Direct Tasting - Angela Mount 2014 - Angela Mount's Top 10 Red Wines For Christmas 2013
Tasting notes: Whenever I open a bottle of this wine, I sink into a blanket of velvety warmth! Ravenswood is iconic, as is its distinctive label; and so is its winemaker, the 'king of Zin', Joel Peterson. What you need to know is that this smooth, sumptuous red, from the hot, sunbaked region of Lodi, close to Sacramento in northern California, is silky smooth, and bursting with gently ripe black fruits with a hint of spicy mocha. Not only does this wine work with classic grilled steak, but it's a dream with spiced up dishes and look no further for a great match for Mexican food. When all the cooking and the entertaining is done, this would be the glass I’d choose to settle down and relax by the fire.
Award: Independent Wines Direct Tasting - Angela Mount 2014 - Angela Mount's Best Wines For Valentine’s Day 2014
Tasting notes: However if steak or a rich red meat dish is on the menu, go for a rich, but velvety and seductive full-bodied red, such as the iconic Ravenswood Lodi Zinfandel, which just oozes richness, velvetiness, and warmth, with luscious, moreish, damson and blackberry fruit, overlaid with sweet spice, a hint of mocha and a lingering finish. This is the wine to drink in front of the fire, with the lights down low.
