2008 Ravenswood Zinfandel, Single Vineyard, Dickerson, Napa Valley

Winemaker's Notes Deep red. An intensely perfumed bouquet displays fresh red berries, flowers and herbs, with an exotic hint of singed orange. High-pitched red berry and cherry flavors are given spine by juicy acidity and show very good clarity, with a spicy kick on the back half. This tangy, precise wine finishes with good youthful snap and mineral-driven persistence.

Critical Acclaim CG93 Connoisseurs' Guide - "Distinctively minty and suggestive of both sweet cherries and dark berries in its bright and buoyant aromas, this rich, well-structured Zinfandel from Napa Valley speaks with a voice all its own. Fully ripened, but at the same time quite very well-measured and still a touch withdrawn, it is a carefully crafted young wine with firm, finely intergrated tannins in place to afford it three to six years of certain improvement." ST92
