Dusi Ranch

2013 Paso Robles Zinfandel

The Ridge Dusi Ranch Zinfandel from the 2013 vintage is an exceptional red wine that showcases the vibrant character of the Paso Robles region. This wine is medium-bodied, offering a delightful balance between richness and approachability. It features a high acidity that adds a refreshing brightness, making it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe blackberries, plums, and hints of black cherry, all enveloped in subtle layers of spice. Tannins are pronounced yet smooth, providing a structured mouthfeel that speaks to the wine's quality and aging potential. As a dry wine, it remains inviting and pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes, truly embodying the essence of its terroir.

Region:


Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
