2003 Ravenswood Zinfandel Dickerson Vineyard Bill & Jane Dickerson Commemorative Bottling

Medium ruby-red. High-toned aromas of raspberry, eucalyptus, orange peel, cedar and flowers. Lush on entry, then silky, seamless and highly concentrated in the middle, with terrific acidity framing the raspberry, cedar, spice and chocolate flavors. The very low pH (3.3) keeps the fruit "in the red zone," according to Peterson. Finishes long and aromatic. This will age more on its acids than on its fine tannins.
