Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel 2018
Trust your Taste
Black cherry, raspberry and blueberry lead this generous Californian Zinfandel, with a hint of oak behind them. Flexible tannins and a long fruit-filled finish make it a bold but approachable red. Try it if you like plenty of berry flavour in the glass.
