“Candied plum and berry aromas meet with apple juice and dried earth on the fruity nose of this bottling from a historic vineyard. The palate is much drier while still fruit-driven, offering candied apple and pomegranate flavors dusted in baking spice.”

Winemaker Notes:

“Dusi Vineyard is found on the west side of Paso Robles in an expansive landscape of undulating hills bathed in Californian sunshine. Originally planted by the Dusi family in 1945, to this day two generations are working together, farming the land with the familys traditional, hands-on approach. The dry farmed, head-trained vines we source from were planted in the 1980s and are impressively resilient in limiting, rocky, alluvial soil. The fruit, maturing under the greatest diurnal temperature variation of all Californian AVAs, retains vibrant acidity while developing an intense berry profile distinguished by untamed spice notes of black pepper and licorice.”
