February 1, 2024 - This was a PnP. Delicious at first sip. Showing the alcohol 16.1%!!!! Beautiful dark red color. Who says Zins don't age well?! This Turley has a few years left, yet.

April 29, 2020 - So happy that I held this bottle so very long for a zinfandel. Great fruit, that Atlas Peak character, the complexity of some mineralogy, and that good vegetable character (nuanced taste but not simply green).

November 21, 2017 - Tasty food wine in the 91-92 range but nothing like the bottle we just had less than a month ago. Maybe some bottle variation, still good, but nevertheless, still disappointing compared to our last bottle.

By Randy Caparoso
July 31, 2011 (link)(Turley Wine Cellars Zinfandel Mead Ranch, Atlas Peak) A concentrated, wildly intense mix of black- and red-berry aromas with twists of cracked pepper makes the nostrils tingle. The full, luscious, silky-textured palate allows the fruit to flow unimpeded by a sinewy, toothsome belt of tannin. Special Report: Napa Valley Zinfandel
