Winemaker Notes

Planted 1945 and still farmed by the Dusi family to this day, this wine is one of the most plush and hedonistic they make at Turley. Fragrant, ripe red fruits at the forefront, with lift, energy, and approachability. Raspberry preserves and a hint of chocolate on the palate, with a luscious, velvety, prolonged finish.

Professional Ratings

95 Wine Spectator

A seductive Zin that’s rich and polished yet handsomely structured, with detailed flavors of raspberry, cranberry, roasted sage and loamy white pepper that end with big but refined tannins.

94 Vinous
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.

93 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
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-drivenso much so that it comes off as slightly disjointed at this early stageand transitions to a long, complex finish.
