A warm summer ripened the fruit on schedule, and harvest began in late August. The five vineyard parcels were picked as full flavor developed, and crushed to separate small tanks; a grid submerged the cap of skins for gentle extraction. When natural primary fermentation began, one parcel stood out immediately for the intensity typical of Dusi Ranch. Natural secondary finished quickly, and the wine was racked to barrel; the concentrated fruit supported a higher percentage of new oak than usual. Spring tastings showed resolved tannins, opulence, and focus; we decided to bottle in August. Full body and sweet, ripe fruit make this Dusi immediately appealing. It will be at its best over the next six years. EB (6/08)Initial sugar at harvest: 28.7% by weightResidual sugar in the wine: 1.4% by weight
