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. (AG)

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. (ML)
