2023 Pound for Pound
You may have heard that Zinfandel is my favorite wine to just drink and enjoy. Zin is the best bang for your buck here in Paso Robles, which is why I call ours Pound for Pound. Stack it up against other wines at the same price point and the Zinfandel wins just about every time.

Tasting Notes
Dragonfruit, pomegranate juice, early season black figs, orange zest, candied hibiscus, double delight rose. The palate is mineral-laden, with crunchy, energetic acidity, juicy and lively, with a persistent, staccato finish.
Vineyard Notes
The lion's share of the fruit came from vineyards owned by the Dusi family - including the acclaimed Paper Street vineyard - who have farmed vineyards in Paso Robles for 100 years.
Production Notes
Fruit was destemmed, 3-5-day cold soak, followed by pump-overs and punchdowns 3 times a day during fermentation. Pressed into 3rd fill and neutral French and American oak barrels, puncheons, and concrete tanks. Aged 10 months.
