Winemaker Notes

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 pungent flavors and a long-lasting finish. Crop levels are low, and the vineyard is small, so production is quite limited.

Ravenswood Gary Sitton and Joel Peterson Winery Image

Fueled initially by the inspiration and winemaking skills of Joel Peterson, aided and abetted by his business partner W. Reed Foster, Ravenswood winery has been dedicated to top quality, hand-crafted wine since the first crush in 1976. Every Ravenswood wine carries a unique vintage and vineyard identity in addition to the intense powerful – gothic – character with which the winery has come to be associated.

A key to Ravenswood’s success is their long-standing relationships with over 60 independent grape growers. Vineyards are chosen for their location, age, yield and special flavor characteristics. At Ravenswood, they are devoted to working with growers who share their philosophy about high quality.

Ravenswood Vineyard Designate wines are made employing what Joel Peterson refers to as “stubborn and impractical” Old World enological practices. Wines are fermented in small wooden tanks using wild, natural yeasts and punched down by hand three to five times per day. The wines are characterized by intense, spicy aromas supported by rich, berry flavors and long, clean finishes.
