The 2023 Zinfandel Dante Dusi Vineyard blossoms in the glass with a captivating mix of crushed blackberries, blood orange and rosemary. Silky smooth yet energetic, it offers crisp wild berry fruit propelled by a core of zesty acidity, while a twang of sour citrus adds contrast. The finish is fresh yet potent and long, leaving a slight mineral tinge and a hint of tart blackberry that lingers.
