Palate
Rich carmine in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with Sangiovese and has a nose of black cherry soda and lavender. This wine opens with dark fruits leading into its mid palate of current, herbed sourdough and followed by a lengthy finish of dark cherry compote and cocoa nib.
Winemaking
Janell Dusi is the proprietor and winemaker, specializing in Zinfandel and red wine blends. She is a 4th generation farmer who is the first of the family to go beyond farming to produce wines from the Dusi Vineyards. She honors her heritage by winemaking in the most native form; handpicking, hand sorting and stomping her wines by foot. Her signature style is continued with non-invasive wine handling and gentle barrel aging. A combination of new French and American oak, juvenile barrels are rounded out with neutral barrels to create wines that respect and reveal the natural varietal characteristics.
