Producer Description
In 1967 Ridge first bought Zinfandel from this vineyard, then farmed by Benito Dusi. Today, his nephew, Mike Dusi, continues to tend the old, dry-farmed vines. Picked at ideal ripeness, the 2020 is exceptionally well balanced in fruit, tannin, and acid. It is enjoyable as a young wine for its exuberant fruit and will continue to evolve over seven to eight years.
Jammy fruit forward nose, toasty oak, rich and full on the palate with layered red fruit, black pepper and bright acidity.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Loads of earth and smoked aromas kick off the nose of this bottling from a historic property, with smashed berry, plum and anise notes also arising. There's solid tension to the palate, where strawberry compote, peppercorn and dried pork flavors align.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Appealingly old-school, with sturdy blackberry, licorice and briar patch accents that race toward zesty tannins.
