Palate
At first glance this Petite Sirah is deep dark opaque in color. At a closer look, a vibrant neon illuminating halo appears around the outer rim. A true hearty red wine seeps with bountiful earth; forest floor and tobacco. Ripe black plum and fresh baked berry pie encompasses the mid palate and drifts into a velvety tannic finish of sun steeped tea.
Winemaking
anell 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.
