If you are looking for a pleasant red wine with broad appeal, Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel 2003 may be the ticket. In the glass, it has a pleasing deep red color. This wine has the characteristic fruitiness of a Zin, with black cherry predominating and a hint of vanilla and dried fruit. It’s soft on the palate, with a modest finish. It may not be a truly great Zin, but for the price it’s a fine choice to accompany beef on the grill or any other dish where a gulpable red is needed.
We found this bottle at Sam’s Club, holding down the low end of their red wine display at under seven bucks.
We reviewed the Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel 2003 over at CorkReview.com giving it 3 out of 5 stars. “This Zinfandel has a interesting raspberry smell, almost antiseptic… Good level of dryness, bold oak, but overall unremarkable”
