Crimson in color. 15.2% ABV. Gorgeous nose of red and black fruits, licorice and white pepper. Medium body with exquisite acidity. Lighter in style than I expect from Turley. Fresh and charming with bright fruits. Crushed raspberries, black cherry, earth and pepper on the palate. The finish is long and supple. Just an exceptional Zinfandel from a vineyard I have little experience with. So much to like here. Best over the next 1-2 years.

Dark garnet in color. Lovely fruit noise of purple/black fruit with berry highlights. Very smooth on palate with great balance of fruit and other flavors-plum and blackberry. medium to long finish. Delightful mouth full with great softness.

Very pretty ripe plum flesh with a nice transluscense and a rim that's just crawling up the glass. 1 cm evenly spaced legs appear quickly. Spicy and salty bramble fruits beg to be sipped. This is the creamy raspberry plushness you've been looking for in a Zinfandel. Graphite and mineral teasers reveal smoky blackberry compote leading to a gratuitously opulent finish.
