Description:
The goal of Ravenswood Vintners Blend, then, is accessibility — in terms of both character and price. Up-front, fruit-forward, and immediately enjoyable, these wines exude attractive youthfulness, but also contain enough complexity to give evidence of the winemaker's craft. The Vintners Blend has a rich, somewhat soft, moderately complex, spicy, ripe, raspberry aroma. The flavors are those of black cherries, mint and vanilla with a sturdy, slightly finish. Enjoy this wine with a shaved prime rib sandwich on grilled sourdough bread and plenty of horseradish.
