Magnums of Ravenswood Wine:

• 1999 Dickserson Zinfandel

One of Ravenswood’s single-vineyard offerings, the Dickerson has explosive blueberry, blackberry and eucalyptus flavors, spiced up a bit with black pepper. A sweet-spicy, rich blackberry, white pepper and eucalyptus bouquet starts things off; toasty oak and tannic, blackberry-skin flavors draw the wine to a lingering close. A button-pusher, though perhaps a bit too big for some folks.
