2021 Paper Street Zinfandel
This deep dark Zin from Paper Street Vineyard has dark fruits and herbs on the nose. Soft and round texture opens up to a mid-palate of soft delicate summer berries. Olallieberry and deep red ripe strawberry envelop the mid-palate. A touch tobacco and cedar wood roll into a finish of silky broad tannins.

Another stunner from the Dusi family, fourth-generation Paso growers, this time from their more recent project, the high-elevation Paper Street vineyard. A lighter and brighter Zinfandel expression than the Dusi Vineyard, but still squarely California Zinfandel. Red fruits, blood orange notes, black pepper and baking spices with an acid backbone and a lengthy finish.
