wine rec: an aussie ravenswood
Over the years we've enjoyed a number of selections from Ravenswood, and we usually make sure to have several bottles on hand as good weeknight wine.
After Ravenswood was purchased by Constellation a few years ago, there was speculation about how its new ownership would affect its offerings. We think there's good news to report.
Today we picked up a bottle of Ravenswood's Vintners Blend South Eastern Australia Shiraz (2002). As the label notes, it's "the first ever Ravenswood wine from Down Under" and it was a lovely surprise. And also on the label: a ring of kangaroos have replaced the trademark ravens--a fun touch. This is one we'll be getting more of, and recommend it to you, too.
