2022 BACA Double Dutch Zinfandel
Critic Review
"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."

Ripe Plum
Dark Cherry
Coriander Spice
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.

Paso Robles AVA – Dusi Vineyard
Dusi Vineyard is found on the west side of Paso Robles in an expansive landscape of undulating hills bathed in Californian sunshine. Originally planted by the Dusi family in 1945, to this day two generations are working together, farming the land with the family’s traditional, hands-on approach. The dry farmed, head-trained vines we source from were planted in the 1980’s and are impressively resilient in limiting, rocky, alluvial soil. The fruit, maturing under the greatest diurnal temperature variation of all Californian AVAs, retains vibrant acidity while developing an intense berry profile distinguished by untamed spice notes of black pepper and licorice.
