PROFILE |
 |
When it comes to vino, Ravenswood Winery prefers reds. Its red varietals, including Merlot, Cabernet and Zinfandel, account for more than 90% of sales. (Zinfandel alone accounts for nearly 70%.) The winery, founded in 1976, also makes white wines, such as Chardonnay. Ravenswood buys most of its grapes from third parties. Its wines are sold in the US and abroad through retailers and restaurants; about 40% of sales are in California. Brands include value-priced Vintners Blend, mid-priced County Series, and higher-end Vineyard Designate. Ravenswood produces more than 400,000 cases per year. Co-founder Joel Peterson owns about 28% of the company, which was acquired by #2 wine producer Constellation Brands in July 2001.
