Growing Conditions

In the Templeton Gap AVA this historic vineyard was planted in 1945. Dante Dusi Vineyard is head trained and dry farmed by five generations of the Dusi Family.

Palate

Our flagship Zin doesn’t disappoint its long standing reputation. Quintessential of the Dante Dusi Vineyard the brambleberry beat is unmistakable. Those who are familiar with this vineyard could pick this wine out of line up (probably blind folded). This wine opens up with fresh picked berries, reminiscent of French patisserie berry tartlet. Fruit, earth and acidity all balance nicely in the mid-palate creating a silky mouthfeel on the finish.
