'03 Tobin James Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel

[Kcwhippet]

There are three Dusis farming Zin in PR - Benito, his brother Dante and Dante's son Michael. It's possible the TJ may contain some of Benito's fruit since it's a 2003, but after 2005 only Ridge and Dover Canyon are getting grapes from the 80+ yo Eastside vines. Michael farms the Westside fruit on the other side of 101 in both his and his father's vineyards. Dante has about two rows left of 60+ yo vines he planted in the late 1940's and the rest are about 18 yo as are all of Michael's. Generally, Benito's fruit is referred to as Dusi Ranch, or just Dusi, and the rest as Dusi Vineyard to distinguish between them.
