The vineyard we now call the Benito Dusi Ranch was originally planted in 1923. From the start, it was planted entirely to zinfandel, and it remains so to this day. For a vineyard that was established more than 85 years ago, this devotion to a single grape variety was highly unusual, as field blended plantings were far more conventional at the time. However, the Dusi family’s single-minded commitment to and consummate care for the zinfandel variety is an essential part of what makes this particular site so distinctive.

Benito Dusi Ranch is the only Ridge vineyard source south of the San Francisco Bay area. Located between the Santa Lucia Range and the Chalone Hills, it is situated just south of the town of Paso Robles, near Highway 101 and 46W. Part of the Paso Robles AVA, this location consistently experiences very large diurnal temperature shifts – hot days fading to cool nights. This phenomenon allows the head-trained (no trellis) vines rooted in the vineyard’s rocky, gravelly soils to produce fruit that showscases zinfandel’s bramble fruit and velvet tannins.
