Mission Briefing
So Ravenous
ALERT: Today’s wine will sell out, so please make your purchase soon.
We are just thrilled to bring you an incredible wine at an unbeatable price, today. Agent Red cleverly raided Ravenswood Winery of every last bottle of their Single Vineyard Designate red blend, the delicious 2008 Ravenswood Pickberry Vineyard Red Wine.
Our entire tasting panel was floored by this delicious blend of 59% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Especially at today’s 60% off price.
This is a truly divine wine that reminds us of the best of Pomerol AOC, infused with classic Sonoma Mountain terroir. And while we are offering the wine at a great price, it is very highly recommended at any price.
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Deep and slightly opaque with dark garnet to dark purple hues. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | This aromatic wine is all dark fruit, leather and spice. Fruits lead the way, with black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, plum and cassis. These are followed by hard leather and sweet brown spice. Beneath all of that, a lovely and very subtle hint of spearmint adds a lovely lift on the nose. |
| Taste: | Delicious and bursting with juicy flavors of blackberry, dark cherry juice and cassis with a rich black cherry and blueberry compote. These sit atop lovely leather, black pepper and sweet spice. |
| Finish: | Very long and lingering with great structure and softly drying medium tannins. |
| Pairing: | Enjoy this very elegant wine with something equally elegant. We can’t wait to enjoy a few bottles with a rare filet Mignon with mushrooms in a red wine reduction. |
