  Blood red in color. 15% ABV. Gorgeous nose of brambly red fruits, pepper and wild flowers. Medium body with juicy acidity. Exceptional balance. A wine of elegance and finesse. Raspberries, cherries and earth on the palate. The finish is long and succulent. Tremendous Zinfandel. Drink over the next 1-2 years.

  A stark contrast to the Turley style pre-2007, this was lean and a bit green. Behind the bell pepper was cracked pepper and some minerality. Acid was there too. I've complained about overripe Turleys in the past but this went a bit too far the other way. Perhaps a night in the fridge will mellow those green notes which are really my main objections to the wine.
