- Bucko - 10-30-2001 1999 Peachy Canyon, Benito Dusi, Paso Robles, California, $26, 874 cases. Dark ruby with raspberry and bing cherry aromas and flavors. Black pepper and light vanilla nuances round out this nicely balanced wine. 89/88. 1999 Peachy Canyon, Estate, Paso Robles, California, $30, 943 cases. This is your big boy. The big jammy nose is followed by intense fruit on the palate in a full-blown package of red fruit, pepper and vanilla. Not for the faint of heart. 92/90. 1999 Peachy Canyon, Mustang Springs, Paso Robles, California, $26, 246 cases. An interesting wine with layers of raspberry and blueberry aromas. The flavors are intense and lush, with almond nuances, crisp acidity and supple tannins. 91/90. 1999 Peachy Canyon, Paso Robles, California, $15, 3,702 cases. This dandy value is loaded with raspberry and strawberry scents. Light to medium-bodied, you’ll find juicy red fruit, a streak of pepper, finishing long and crisp. 88/91. 1999 Peachy Canyon, Westside, Paso Robles, California, $19, 4,268 cases. Dark in the glass, the wine is full of black cherry aromas and flavors. Moderate tannins are braced by a brisk finish. 89/89. - mrdutton - 10-30-2001 The first three sound really interesting. However, knowing this wine starved region I'll bet that only the last two will be available here in Virginny. - Kcwhippet - 11-07-2001 Just got back from there last night, and I heard that's about the last Benito Dusi you'll be seeing from PC. Seems Doug Beckett got a bit heavy handed in his demands about vineyard management and the price he was going to pay. So, Dusi said no thanks and is selling elsewhere. - winoweenie - 11-07-2001 One of the great Zins in my entire experience was the 78 Mastantuano Dusi. Ties with the 77 Lytton Springs As the top zin I've drunked. WW |
