WTN: Old Hill (not Tom)

1996 Ravenswood Old Hill Zinfandel is fully mature and quite delicious. Cherry and dust is joined by leather and a roasted meat element. Quite fun to drink as there are pretty much no tannins. Somehow the bottle managed to empty itself!

Hmmmm, David......"old" is not usually the first thing to comes to mind when you think of "hill". :-)
Not surprised this wine was still holding up. Those OldHills were always good agers.
I would love to see what Morgan cfould do w/ those grapes.
