"A seductive Zin that's rich and polished yet handsomely structured, with detailed flavors of raspberry, cranberry, roasted sage and loamy white pepper that end with big but refined tannins. Drink now through 2035.—T.F."

"The 2022 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard is pale ruby-garnet in color, showing a plethora of red berry fruit, dried orange peel, raspberry preserves, new leather and botanical perfume that hangs in the background alongside hints of ethanol-driven heat. The palate is surprisingly red-fruited and light on its feet with a high-toned, lifted energy and an approachable texture. The finish is beamingly bright and acid-driven‡so much so that it comes off as slightly disjointed at this early stage‡and transitions to a long, complex finish."

"The 2022 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard is racy, silky and super-expressive. Crushed flowers, Kirsch, sweet red berry fruit, mint, white pepper and citrus are all beautifully lifted in this sculpted, vibrant, mid-weight Paso Robles Zinfandel."

"Pale verging on medium ruby in colour. Light diesel, volcanic rock, reduced, flinty, mineral nose with heaps of bramble. Smells like a baked riverbed lined with blackberry bushes. Really fresh acidity. Just gorgeous with soft, medium tannin and black tea on the finish. (SCJ)"

"A Zinfandel from the 80-year-old Dusi vineyard. On the nose, the red fruit notes are bright. The palate serves unexpectedly marked tannins alongside concentrated fruit and a strong backbone of acidity."
