Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: April 12, March 1, January 3 and July 6.

More Reviews:

In the glass: Ravenswood zin is deep magenta with purple highlights and opaque from a half-inch from the edge of the glass.

On the nose: Poured at room temperature and swirled vigorously, shows bright, deep red fruit. From the aroma, seems like this will be perky with full tannins.

On the palate: The primary elements on the palate are in fact red currants, lightly sweet with dollops of acid and tannin. Blackberries coming through too on the simple palate and bright finish.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
