I have heard a lot about the ageability of Ravenswood zins and I've had my share of old ones, some good and some bad. This is the best I've had, which surprises me because it is not one of the single vineyard designates like Monte Rosso or Dickerson. Still plenty of fruit, fresh, vibrant, spicy and showing a deep complex secondary profile. A nice slow sipper to end the night.
