Palate
A nose of nuts, baked miller’s bran and its rich mahogany color lure you in. This Cabernet blend opens up with wafts of summer rain and farmers market raspberries. A smooth mouthfeel with baked cherry and bittersweet chocolate are followed by soft and smooth tannins.
Growing Conditions
These varietals are grown in the Paso Robles AVA and reflect the classic characteristics of Paso wines known to be powered by fruit and structure. This wine is farmed by four generations of the Dusi Family.
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.
