    A Smoking Good INSIDER DEAL! The Piedra Creek Benito Dusi Zinfandel

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: March 24, 2021 Last Updated: January 14, 2022

    THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER IS NOW EXPIRED! Sign up below to make sure you get the next one. Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.

    The $98 savings on these 90+ year-old vines are back! Don't miss our 55% discount on the Piedra Creek Winery Benito Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel.

    A Smoking Good INSIDER DEAL! The Piedra Creek Benito Dusi Zinfandel

    Today we're delighted to bring back a new vintage of this extremely popular deal. With only 205 cases produced it's easy to see why this Zinfandel from the famed, almost 100 year-old, dry-farmed Benito Dusi Vineyard in Paso Robles was so popular the first time around.

    You may recognize the Benito Dusi name from the excellent Ridge Vineyard bottlings from this exclusive vineyard. Well thanks to their shared Italian heritage Piedra Creek founder and winemaker Romeo "Meo" Zuech was good friends with Benito Dusi. In fact, Piedra Creek has been making Zinfandel from this vineyard since 1979 and selling a Benito Dusi Zin bottling since 1984.

    Today's 1 day Insider Deal on the 2015 vintage gets you 4 bottles for just $64.99 ($16.25/bottle) plus just $5 for shipping.

    With an SRP of $36, that means today's deal saves you 55% on the wine and a total of $98 after factoring in the additional savings from our $5 shipping!

    This 4-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Friday 3/26 at noon (PST) unless it sells out sooner. Shipping is a flat $5 per order no matter how many 4-packs you buy.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com for checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order. Once there you can also adjust the quantity of 4-packs in your order by using the "Click To Update Cart" link at the top of the screen.

    From the bottle:

    Violets, rose petal and cola come together to make up this robust, yet elegant bouquet. The body is big, jammy and fruit forward, supported by perfectly balanced tannins, oak and acidity. Hints of white pepper overlay and lasting black currant comprise the finish.

    Pair this Zinfandel with a succulent filet mignon or an Italian inspired dish of pasta.

    Produced and Bottled by Piedra Creek Winery
    15.1% Alcohol
    Cases Produced - 205

    The 2015 Piedra Creek Benito Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel begins with a wonderful and spicy aroma of black cherry and some brambly berry notes, mint, cola, cedar and more. There's lots to smell here as you swirl so take your time with this one.

    Taking a sip reveals a really lovely example of Zinfandel with similar flavors to the nose. This is quite tasty with great concentration on the fruit, well integrated spice, a smooth mouthfeel and good balance. This 2015 is drinking beautifully right now and it still has plenty of life left.

    It ends dry, slightly grippy and very long with smooth and long lasting berry fruit plus some light oaky notes. I think I might even like this vintage a tad more than the delicious 2014 we previously offered. Delicious!

    And if you'd like to learn more about the winery there's a fascinating history of Romeo here, who was an aerospace engineer on the Apollo 11 mission before he founded Piedra Creek.
