Planted in 1945 by Dante Dusi, this vineyard is still farmed by the family to this day. Zinfandel vines are head-trained and dry-farmed, and planted to soils full of alluvial with rocks of ranging sizes, on the western side of Paso Robles. The wine ferments using only natural yeasts. It ages for approximately 15 months in 80% French oak and 20% American oak (80% used, 20% new).
