Turley sourced this wine from an old-vine vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. This AVA, a prime location for zins, and an exceptional vintage combined to allow the winery to produce this delicious wine. In typical Turley style, the lush, ripe fruit hides the supple tannins and creates a seamless mouth feel. This is a wine that is all about ripe fruit - raspberries and black cherries with a touch of black pepper. I was amazed the label indicated the alcohol was 16.2%; there is not a trace of heat to be found.
The cost was $40. This is a substantial price for a zin, but the quality is there. These wines are generally available only from the winery on an allocated basis, but I suspect that the economic conditions that now exist will make it much easier for you to get on the mailing list.
