The 2007 Zinfandel, Dusi Vineyard bottle was included in our fall shipment wine club. The bottle gives you a little knowledge about the Dusi Vineyards which they state is perhaps the most famous Zinfandel vineyard in the world. The vineyard is over 80 years old. It’s dry farmed technique is supposed to be what gives these vineyards the street cred to be the best. Tobin James suggests that this is because the “vines roots have to dig deep into the earth to find water to survivie. This stress helps create the intense and jammy fruit that signifies “Dusi Fruit”"
This wine was great. I know that Paso Robles is known for Zinfandels, but throughout the entire trip, we did not purchase one bottle. I am so happy this one was part of the shipment. It was a very rich wine with a strong dark fruit flavor. The solid flavors linger on the tongue. The wine has a nice finish that leaves you wanting more. I recommend it if you can get your hands on a bottle. It retails for about $38.00.
4 stars
