2006 Ravenswood Icon Mixed Blacks

(a blend of zinfandel, petite sirah, carignane and alicante bouschet) Deep ruby. Strikingly floral aromas of raspberry, cherry compote, rose, violet and licorice. Fleshy and sweet, offering round dark berry flavors, a velvety texture and no apparent tannins. The finish is impressively penetrating and nervy, leaving tangy red fruit notes behind. This is delicious right now.
