TURLEY Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard

WA: 93

Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard offers aromas of tar, boysenberry, licorice, earth and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with very pretty fruit layers—delicate and lifted—softly framed and juicy with a long, perfumed finish.

WS: 92

Jammy yet structured, with vibrant raspberry, white pepper, crushed stone and licorice accents that speed along the finish toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2027. 2,005 cases made.

The 2021 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard is a touch rubbery to begin, before blossoming to scents of red cherry, forest floor and dried mint. The medium-bodied palate is pleasantly rustic, with gently chewy tannins and a long finish loaded with plummy fruit. Give it a couple of hours in a decanter.

The 2021 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard, from vines planted in 1945, is a bold, potent Paso Robles Zinfandel. A blast of dark red cherry, plum, spice, menthol and licorice saturate the palate. This plush, explosive Zinfandel has a ton going on. There's real old-vine gravitas and texture here. What a gorgeous wine this is.

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.

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.

WS: 95
