Tasting notes
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)

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.
