Maker: Janell Dusi

Composition: 100% Zinfandel from 50% Dante Dusi Vineyard, 50% Paper St. Vineyard in Paso Robles.

About: Grapevines were Janell’s playground as a child. Her family owned some of the oldest Zinfandel vineyards in California for four generations. Now, she’s bringing a whole new perspective to the family farming tradition by putting Paso Robles Zinfandel in a can. This Old Vine Zin captures the best of two different vineyards - big and spicy elements from Paper Street vineyard, and soft, earthy flavors from Dusi vineyard. The result? A perfectly balanced wine full of dark berries, vanilla, and spice.
