Description
Ravenswood is a famous Californian winery and owner winemaker Joel Peterson is the man who pioneered one of the state's greatest achievements - single-vineyard Zinfandel. The locals have a saying, that if God could grow Zinfandel in just one place, he'd choose Dry Creek Valley and that's just where this majestic 'Zin' was grown.

The Teldeschi family arrived from Tuscany over a century ago and soon established a reputation for excellent vineyard management. For decades they sold their finest grapes to a number of local wineries. But when Joel Peterson suggested he make a wine exclusively from Teldeschi grapes, a legendary wine partnership was formed.

A hedonistic red with black pepper, vanilla, hints of smoke and tar intermingled with ripe fruit flavours. It's mouth filling and beautifully balanced - an ideal wine for barbecued shoulder of lamb.
