2022 Dante Dusi Zinfandel

93 POINTS, VINOUS:

The 2022 Zinfandel Dante Dusi Vineyard is vibrant and lifted, enticing the senses with blue and purple-toned flowers accentuating crushed raspberries complemented and clove. This flows across the palate with textures of pure silk, blending elegance with energy. Violet pastille gives way to tart wild berry fruits. Rum raisin and cinnamon spice nuances linger as this finishes with dramatic length yet pleasantly fresh. The 2022 is beautifully refined, especially for the warm vintage.

90 POINTS, JEB DUNNUCK:

Classic Zinfandel red fruits, plum, cigar, and sandalwood notes all emerge from the 2022 Zinfandel Dante Dusi Vineyard, a pretty, perfumed, violet, and floral-driven Zinfandel that's medium-bodied, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's well-made and offers ample pleasure.

93 POINTS, JAMIE GOOD, WINE ANORAK:

Wild ferment, aged in French and American oak (15% new). This is sweetly aromatic with appealing berry fruit and some nice spicy detail, as well as hints of aniseed and cinnamon, as well as a touch of cardamon. There’s a sweet core to the palate with fine-grained structure and a bit of alcoholic warmth, but the overall effect is really impressive. Seamless, but with nice exotic spice detail, too.
