TN: 2008 Ravenswood Icon Mixed Blacks (USA, California, Sonoma County)

  • 2008 Ravenswood Icon Mixed Blacks - USA, California, Sonoma County (1/25/2022)
    Cork completely fell apart on opening, but the wine was solid as a rock. Still years from full maturity, with a load of dark fruit and firm tannins. Damn I wish I had paid more attention to this bottling, because this could be one fun ride to take.

Nice David! I’ve had mixed results with the Icon Mixed Black’s. 99 and 07 were great, while 99 was ok, and 96 and 06 were not good.

Side note, I love the bottle design on these.

Wasn’t’99 designated a Syrah?

Hmmm. You know what, it totally could have been. I didn’t specify in my notes. So take my comments with a grain of salt [cheers.gif]

Hmmm got a couple of 99 in my mixed cases but have never tried one. Guess I should get one in the queue

Let us know if you open one! The provenance on my 99 was definitley not as strong as the library release, so that could be a part of it too [cheers.gif]
