From its first nose of ripe, concentrated blackberries tinged with sweet spices to the background noes of soils, toast and toffee to its varietally compelling flavors firmed by tough yet fruit-buffered tannins, this one never lets up, but it does want time in the cellar to soften its age-demanding astringency.’
How Many bottles/singles: 31.99 each
NW-1991. 05 RAVENSWOOD TELDESCHI ZINFANDEL DCV Connoisseurs’ Guide 95 - THREE ROSETTES: ‘With lots and lots of well-defined, optimally ripened blackberry and stone fruit notes leading the way in both its very deep, full-scaled aromas and wonderfully well-extracted flavors, this year’s Teldeschi hits all the right varietal marks. It is at once endowed with zesty acidity and palpable tannins, yet both of those pieces of the puzzle are appropriately buffered by plenty of real fruit at its very heart. The wine’s obvious richness may tempt some into early drinking, but this one is bound to get better and better if allowed three to five years in bottle.’

It’s classic, beautiful, wildly fruited zin, farmed to catch the cooler, morning sun and to hold onto its zest and elegance. Made to be transparent in color and incisive in flavor.

NW-2041. 06 NORMAN THE MONSTER ZINFANDEL PR DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL - TASTERS GUILD: A little rigid. And betwixt and between in development. Some sweet Paso fruit./ Fully pliant on the palate though. Oh, what a juicy taste treat! Raspberry, roast, oak, Paso ripeness. Jammy, but with great acid cut and alcohol body and warmth. All well balanced. A delicious glass. 92+/100.

NW-2045. 06 RIDGE ZINFANDEL PR Connoisseurs’ Guide 91 - TWO ROSETTES: ‘Ridge gets Paso Robles Zinfandel right with this wonderfully well-made wine that scores both in terms of its fruit focus and its fine balance. Its hints at late-harvest ripeness without ever going over the line, and it demonstrates a mannerly hand vis-a-vis tannin and heat. It s careful winemaking shows from beginning to end and, while tasty right now, the wine has the structure and depth to age nicely for a half-dozen years.’

NW-2056. 06 RAVENSWOOD ZINFANDEL LD Tanzer 90-91: ‘Jammy raspberry and blackberry on the nose, with notes of fresh rose and baking spices adding complexity. Sappy dark berry flavors show liqueur-like intensity and depth but are also enlivened by juicy acidity. Impressively fresh, focused zinfandel with excellent finishing lift and thrust, leaving behind floral pastilles and smoky minerals.’
