Ravenswood Besieged 2013, Susanne’s Wine Pick.
Susanne’s Wine Pick
Joel Peterson, affectionaly known as the “Godfather of Zin.”
With Father’s Day approaching I thought I would pick something that would appeal to Dad’s and their love of the almighty BBQ. I am sure that’s how a majority of Dad’s out there will be celebrating their Father’s Day and we know that Dad’s love their beef, from burgers to steaks and a rack of ribs.
My pick to celebrate this Father’s Day is a wine that is brand new to our market. It is the Ravenswood Besieged 2013 from Sonoma California. Awhile back we had the opportunity to meet Joel Petersen,the founder of Ravenswood several years ago and it was at a BBQ!
Ravenswood Besieged 2013
Red Blend
This wine is a beautiful blend of Petite Sirah, Carignane, Zinfandel, Syrah, Barbera, Alicante, Bouschet, and Mourvedre. The grapes are sourced form 6 different vineyards, including the Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley and others.
The wine is big and juicy, fruit driven, ripe red berry with plenty of structuring tannins. Something super special for Dad… $24.95 here in our market.
