One of my favorite labels. Any of the Ravenswood wines generally do not disappoint for this price point $10 or less. Bruno's had this on sale for $7.99 and I had to pick up a couple of bottles at this price! Compared to the Windmill Old Vine Zinfandel - Oh there is no comparision! Ravenswood is so much better! As the label says "No Wimpy Wines".
The Ravenswood website says this about the Vinter's Blend wines:
Since 1983, Ravenswood's Joel Peterson — renowned not only as one of California's best winemakers but also as one of its most talented tasters — has devoted part of each year to the role of negociant. Sifting through hundreds of samples that reach him through brokers, friends, and acquaintances (including soothsayers and secret agents), Joel searches out sound, reasonably priced wines to complement lots made at Ravenswood. Not every vineyard, after all, is worthy of being a labeled designate — but by the same token, not every meal or day of the week is worthy of an expensive wine. Looking again to the European model, Joel wants something modest but delicious to satisfy the palate during the week, in between luxury wines that are unveiled on special occasions.
Enough Said! Buy often and enjoy!
