The 2021 Zinfandel Dante Dusi lights up the senses with a brilliant blend of peppery rose, raspberry and blood orange. This is creamy and rich upon entry, contrasted by a core of zesty acidity and tart wild berry fruits that cascade throughout. This finishes lightly structured, with a measured sweetness as citrus and wild blueberry hints slowly fade.
