Ravenswood's first "Pickberry" wine was called "one of the most important wines of the vintage" by Wilfred Wong and received a 90+ rating from Robert M. Parker Jr. Pickberry became one of Ravenswood's most prestigious wines.

Stephen Tanzer writes: "With its large number of limited old-vines zinfandel cuvees covering numerous appellations, Ravenswood is an excellent indicator of the quality of a given vintage."

A powerfully structured wine, with scents of dark cherry, dark berry, plum, mocha and vanilla aromas. With its complex, round layered texture, it coats the palate with intoxicating flavors of black plum, cassis, currants, spice and toast.

48% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot
