Joel Peterson, who owns Ravenswood, has a sign hanging in his tasting room — “No Wimpy Wines Allowed.” And that’s what you get in his range of Zinfandels. This Old Vine Zin is deep ruby-purple in colour. The nose is spicy leather and black plum with cedary oak notes. It’s full-bodied, fruity but dry with coursing acidity that gives the wine its length of flavour.
