Zinfandel, California

Full, dark, spicy, fruity and - more than anything - fun, Zinfandel is California's most appealing and emblematic wine. If you want a classic example, look no further than the Ravenswood Vintners Blend. Made with grapes predominately from the traditional Sin-growing areas of Sonoma, Lodi and Mendocino counties, it's bursting with the varietal's trademark raspberry and pepper character, backed by enough oak to lend it presence and give it backbone. Rich soft and savory with al kinds of food, it's close to being all things to all wine-loving people. Alcohol 13.5% by Volume.
