Winery Notes:
The Dusi vineyard was planted by Dante Dusi in 1945 and it is farmed by his family to this day. The vines are head-trained and dry-farmed, planted in soil that is mostly alluvial with some very large rocks. Like our other vineyards in the area, Dusi is on the west side of Paso Robles, in the cool Templeton Gap sub-AVA.
Planted 1945 and still farmed by the Dusi family to this day, this wine is one of the most plush and hedonistic we make at Turley. Fragrant, ripe red fruits at the forefront, with lift, energy, and approachability. Raspberry preserves and a hint of chocolate on the palate, with a luscious, velvety, prolonged finish.

The 2022 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard is racy, silky and super-expressive. Crushed flowers, Kirsch, sweet red berry fruit, mint, white pepper and citrus are all beautifully lifted in this sculpted, vibrant, mid-weight Paso Robles Zinfandel.

The 2022 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard is pale ruby-garnet in color, showing a plethora of red berry fruit, dried orange peel, raspberry preserves, new leather and botanical perfume that hangs in the background alongside hints of ethanol-driven heat. The palate is surprisingly red-fruited and light on its feet with a high-toned, lifted energy and an approachable texture. The finish is beamingly bright and acid-driven-so much so that it comes off as slightly disjointed at this early stage-and transitions to a long, complex finish.
