- Produced continuously and exclusively by Ravenswood since 1982, cedar, eucalyptus and raspberry scents as distinctive as fingerprints characterize the Zinfandel from Dickerson Vineyards. Physician-cum-wine-enthusiast Bill Dickerson is the guardian of the vines that bestow these superlative wines. His vineyard on (what else?) Zinfandel Lane on the West side of Napa Valley is sheltered by the Mayacamas Mountains, allowing the long Napa growing season to build up full, round flavors in the grapes. They confer claret-style Zinfandel at its best... sumptuous, deeply aromatic wine with read more...pungent flavors and a long-lasting finish. Crop levels are low, and the vineyard is small, so production is quite limited. (hide)
