Red raspberry, boysenberry, leather, tobacco, sage alcohol on the nose. Red fruits, herbs with a tart finish. The alcohol is quite noticeable in the mouth (16.4%) and the fruit has faded. My last bottle, definitely past its peak. Tasted alongside the 2013 Ueberroth

Opened and poured. Very dark...very jam-centric zin. Nice sweetness as the last several Turley's have been too hot and overbearing, lacking true zin characteristics. This one showing maturing blacks and dark reds - boysenberry, blackberry, dense woven textures. Nice bottle.

Blackberries, black cherries and blueberries with licorice and earthiness in the nose. This is a big alcoholic zinfandel with rich black fruits and a long finish. Deep, jammy fruit in the flavor with pepper and spice. The only downside is the 16.4% alcohol is definitely obvious in the finish and is a bit of a detraction, but still a very nice wine.

What a nose! Ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit aromas mixed with baking spice, star anise and dusty earth. Big, but bright, chewy and energetic, showing some tangerine peel, black pepper, brambly fruit and yes, heat on the finish. Other than the alcohol on the back end, this is about as good as zin gets.
