Valravn Zinfandel has been based on old, bush-pruned vines averaging 40 years old (some over 100) across the county’s best appellations. The core of the 2020 vintage is Zinfandel from the Russian River AVA with some Sonoma Valley and Knights Valley fruit. In addition, Valravn peppered in some Yorkville Highlands Petite Sirah and Chalone Grenache for complexity. Hand harvested, hand sorted, and gently destemmed before fermentation.
ANTONIO GALLONI 90 POINTS - "The 2020 Zinfandel (Sonoma County) is a heady, boisterous wine. Super-ripe dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, sweet spice, and tobacco are front and center. This racy, opulent Zinfandel packs quite the punch. And it’s a great value, too."

A great Old Vine Zin at a great price
This wine has that "peppery" finish of a Malbec, but remains light without an overly full body. It's very easy to drink and quite tasty. I highly recommend it.
