Solid Value @ $20.00 +/-. I thought it was better on night 2.

This bottling has been a solid qpr for two years in a row for me.

This showed better on day two so I'd suggest give it some air and enjoy.

Mono tonal. Good table wine.

This was better to me on day one than two when it became slightly disjointed.

Perfectly acceptable table wine but nothing to write home about. Prefer LaParadou that's offered at a slightly lower price.

Exactly what one would expect from an exemplary vintage and vineyard at a mature life span. Drink now.

Burgundian in style and structure.

My personal perception is this wine is possibly fading. I felt it showed more on day 2 but in a cloying way. I will say I purchased it late and therefore not positive how well it was cellared before it became a victim of my desire.

Cola nuanced velvet palate. My impression on it's current state would be to recommend drinking this sooner rather than later.

A serious representation of an often misunderstood varietal. This is what zinfandel can be with a master at the helm of it's presentation. Pure class.

Pure class. Well worth the price of admission.

Nuanced in style without a lack for fruit.

Rock solid offering from CH.

3/13/2020 - zinfomaniac Likes this wine:

Quite different than most of Lodi. Location is key on this beauty.

3/8/2020 - zinfomaniac Likes this wine:

Solid in every aspect. My only complaint is I didn't buy more.

3/2/2020 - zinfomaniac Likes this wine:

This vineyard is grand cru in every respect when year after year the fruit is displayed unashamedly brash but yet delicate and nuanced.

Turley is a rock star producer with a deft touch of showing no heat on a varietal that's notorious for producing it.

A little bit of age has done this wine well. It's ready to go right now in my assessment. Cheers to all!

Stacks up to most of Chataeauneuf especially when price is considered. Excellent QPR.

Tons of cocoa and quite seductive. Not sure how it shows against food but beautiful as a stand alone.

Very good Valley wide compilation. Drinking superbly with a sampling of beautiful red fruit chased with cocoa. Not a harsh edge to it.

This was beautiful at the 1 hour mark but by hour 4 it was crumbling. So my suggestion would be to drink early with friends.

What an exceptional Zinfandel should be. Delicate on the attack all the while feverish in it's complexity.
