About the Wine
The Dusi Vineyard is somewhat of a Zinfandel specialist. The winery has largely focused its production on this variety for the better portion of a century. The results are telling, with extremely focused wines whether they are dry or sweet. The fruit that comes from this estate is of such a quality that some of California's most famed producers have sought contracts to purchase portions. Today with the third generation at the helm, the wines are better than ever. This lusciously sweet Zin is an after-dinner treat alongside your favorite chocolate dessert.
The intense flavor profiles of the “Dusi Fruit” are characteristic of the land’s unique microclimate and the family’s old-world, handcrafted grape growing techniques, which promotes sustainable vineyards, through the use of techniques like cover crop and dry farming. This 100-acre estate is located just south of Paso Robles in the Templeton Gap. A region that features the greatest day-to-night temperature variation of any appellation in California, providing ideal conditions for vibrantly flavored yet exceptionally balanced wines.
Tasting Notes
This Haute zinfandel port will arouse your senses with its intense and robust fruit forwardness. The balance of super-ripe, long-hanging fruit fortified with brandy, delivers one succulent and tantalizing treat. Enjoy this bottle in the company of friends and family along with decadent chocolate. Guaranteed to be a perfect dessert or night-cap.
