Ravenswood Vineyards

Ravenswood Winery Seghesio Cortina Vineyard Zinfandel In 1957, the Seghesio family purchased 56 acres in the heart of Dry Creek Valley. Their fathers had purchased fruit from growers in this valley since the early 1900s and realized its great potential. In this valley, late afternoon coastal cooling follows long hours of sunshine, allowing the fruit to mature slowly during the summer months. The Site: This wine comes from one of the oldest head-pruned vineyards in Dry Creek Valley. The vineyard thrives in Cortina, a gravelly loam soil well suited to Zinfandel. The stronger marine influence of Dry Creek Valley keeps it cooler than Home Ranch. In a normal season, Cortina will ripen two to three weeks after Home Ranch. The Wine: Due to the prevailing afternoon breezes in Dry Creek Valley, the flavor profile tends towards red fruit, as compared to Home Ranch's black fruit. Its red raspberry, boysenberry, briary/brambly, and spicy white pepper qualities are enhanced with higher acidity due to the cooler growing area.
