Lot #36. Ravenswood Zinfandel Monte Rosso 1996

Description: Consists of 5 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 92 RP.
". . . this exquisite example offers a dark saturated plum/purple color. Sweet cedar, iodine, pepper, fruitcake, Rhone-like notes soar from the glass of this fleshy, massive Zin. Huge and rich in the mouth, yet neither coarse nor ponderous, it boasts layers of flavor, outstanding purity and harmony, and a whoppingly long finish. Already delicious . . ." Wine Advocate #118, Aug 1998
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Notes: 2 base neck, 1 nicked label, 1 lightly stained label.
