Valravn — named for the raven of Danish folklore — pulls together Zinfandel from across Sonoma County's warmer pockets, hitting that sweet spot where the grape sings: ripe but not roasted, generous but not heavy. The bramble fruit is front and center, with enough lift and pepper-spice to keep things lively. A reliable, friendly Zin for weeknight dinners and backyard grilling. The kind of bottle that disappears faster than you planned.

"The 2023 Zinfandel (Sonoma County) is bold, juicy and super expressive. Succulent dark red cherry/plum fruit, pomegranate, sweet spice, new leather and cedar are front and center. This is an especially fresh, juicy Zinfandel done in a style that offers a ton of flexibility at the dinner table. It's a fabulous everyday offering." —Antonio Galloni

More about Valravn

There is just starting to emerge a new class of wine in California that may be the most exciting of recent trends. New wineries with true artisanal spirits are making everyday, affordable wines. One of the best we’ve come across is Valravn.

Why aren’t there more Valravns out there? Probably, it’s because producing wine this good for such a low price is really hard. It takes a force of nature. Someone like proprietor Baron Ziegler, the kind of guy who bought Bordeaux futures when he was 15 and then flipped them for enough profit to make his first real estate purchase. Baron already had several wine projects behind him (he started Banshee for example) before he founded Valravn.

Tasting Profile

Juicy and medium-full, with blackberry and black raspberry up front, a dusting of cracked pepper and baking spice, soft tannins, and a warming finish. Ripe and round but not jammy.
