1997 Ravenswood Napa Valley Zinfandel

Medium body, crimson colour. An impressive wine. Aromas of spice, liquorice, tar, stewed fruit, confectionery, plum and floral end notes. The palate displays complexity and excellent length - flavours of raspberry, liquorice, spice, confectionery and poppy dominate. Excellent balance, soft tannins, the acid is a touch soft but satisfactory for the next 2-3 years. Long aftertaste of liquorice, blackberry and spice.
