Wine Review: This wine is made for all you fans of fruity and luscious Zins. It is bright ruby colored and opens with a fruity raspberry like bouquet. On the palate it is medium bodied and balanced. The flavor profile of this fruit bomb is a blend of juicy red raspberry and spicy black cherry. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are present fro quite some time. Pair this luscious Zin with barbecue chicken off the grill. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Smooth as silk with all the right elements for an old world style Zinfandel. The 2007 Zinfandel has bright fruit of cherries and berries popping while finishing with a great finesse. I wanted to showcase every corner of the Dusi Vineyard in this vintage from picking all over the ranch. Aging with a light barrel regime, the fruit is not overshadowed by the oak.
