| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.1 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jgh123 on 8/16/2023 & rated 91 points: Better than I remembered. Decanted but not much sediment in this bottle. Fully mature and Perfect with grilled burgers! (118 views) | | | Tasted by jgh123 on 8/8/2022 & rated 89 points: Dark fruit and spice; a little remaining tannin; raisons; nice but a little short. Can probably hang in there a few more years but no reason to wait. (208 views) | | | Tasted by Ed B on 6/7/2021 & rated 92 points: Decanted through a strainer to remove crumbled cork. Drank over 2 hours. Subtle, not bold. Smooth, mellow fruit, which morphed among cherry, strawberry and cranberry. Very nice spice. (318 views) | | | Tasted by mellison on 11/20/2007 & rated 90 points: Tasty with the expected full mouth of typical zinfandel flavors. Nice smooth finish. (3002 views) | | | Tasted by JBVino on 4/3/2007: good (3105 views) | | | Tasted by dlynch on 1/5/2007 & rated 88 points: Lots of cork/oak funk. After a couple of hours of air, the Ridge Paso Robles character came through: very jammy fruit, big body. Probably wasn't a good idea to keep it this long, but with enough air it's still in fine shape. (3028 views) | | | Tasted by buckeye76 on 12/9/2006 & rated 90 points: RASPBERRIES AND BLACK CHERRIES IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR WITH A TOUCH OF SPICE. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH. (896 views) | | | Tasted by Oberhau on 8/10/2001 & rated 70 points: Unremarkable, no perceptible flavor or nose (2407 views) |

Benito Dusi Ranch. The 1967 vintage was our first wine from this vineyard.It is planted entirely to zinfandel, unusual in a vineyard more than 80 years old.
Purchased by Sylvester and Catarina Dusi in 1924, the property has been farmed since the 1940s by their son Benito, the owner.
Wines from this location consistently show deep, juicy bramble fruit on the palate, along with notes of black cherry, gravelly earth, and rich chocolate.Zinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
