"Aromas of red fruit are cut by earthy herbs and scorched soil on the nose of this bottling from a historic vineyard. The palate is very enjoyable, offering boysenberry pudding, caramel, clove cream and light pepper flavors."

"This 2022 Zinfandel comes from the Dusi Ranch which is a head-trained vineyard set in Paso Robles. These vines were planted in 1945. The palate is soft and refined with silky tannins and a smooth texture. Layers of sweet fig and dates combine with salted wet stone and baking spices on the palate. Showing good underlying freshness, this is already nicely evolved stuff."

"This Zin shows torque and concentration, offering brooding blackberry and cherry flavors that take on licorice, tar and Asian spice accents as this finishes with potent tannins."

Black Pepper
This wine is stunningly vivid and expressive. Intense flavors of ripe plum and dark cherry are enhanced by notes of licorice, coriander spice and black pepper. The rich, velvety texture is supported by a supple structure with a lively acidity that lingers on the finish.

| Vintage Notes | The 2022 vintage wines are immediately appealing, showing fruit-forward aromatics, breadth, and sophistication. Even in the third year of drought, good vine growth was a pleasant surprise. Heavy rains started at the end of November, continued into early December, dried down, and arrived again near bud break, resaturating the soils. Frost in March contributed to a lighter crop. By July the season was tracking on the warmish side indicating an earlier harvest. Temperate weather was interrupted by a big heat wave in early September, which propelled earlier ripening sites into a fast-paced harvest window. |
