I've had some great older Ravenswood zins from this vineyard so I was looking forward to this one. Cork looked great, beautiful ruby color, but this was marred by significant VA. Looks like the Dickersons no longer make their own wine, but Ravenswood still gets their fruit.

Very interesting old Zin nose of very ripe red fruits cherries and earth and stones. But kind of fall short on palate that’s more acidic. Medium finish. Went well with food. AA value 9. Two days later in Eto may be even better! Seemed to have opened up more and now there’s lively texture and lift and elegance. Surprising for 32 year old wine. Upping from 8.9 to 9.1. This vineyard revived for early Ravenswood Zin by Peterson. Dickerson died in Thailand sunami.
