Tasting notes
The big (at least by Ridge standards) 2002 Zinfandel Dusi Ranch is a 100% Zinfandel that tips the scales at 14.8% alcohol. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a sweet nose displaying an Amarone-like charcoal/creosote character intermixed with black fruit, barbecue spice, and smoky notes. This medium to full-bodied, dense, chunky, muscular, mouth-filling, teeth-staining Zin should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. Tel. (408) 867-3233; Fax (408) 868-1350
