Vinous - 92 Points, 2021 Dante Dusi Zinfandel
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.

Decanter - 92 Points, 2021 Dante Dusi Zinfandel
A Zinfandel of character, displaying ripe red fruits moving into prunes on the nose, plus a hefty dose of baking spices. The palate confirms the ripe red fruits and a full spice rack of seasoning. The depth and concentration of the fruit, fresh acidity and a lengthy finish point to a quality Zinfandel in the glass.
