Turley

Old Vines California Zinfandel 2019

New release of Turley’s Old Vines Zin, one of the great bargains in wine in my book. Zinfandel from historic parcels across CA that deserve a single vineyard bottle but are just too small. This year’s opens with a musty, berry nose and a clear ruby color that don’t signal how rich the wine is. Mouth coating, violets, kirsch and pepper — loaded with flavor and a long finish. — 3 years ago

Rôtie Cellars

Southern Blend Washington State Grenache Blend 2016

After three unsuccessful Piemontese pulls to go with my Piemontese dish, I finally decided that the wine pairing gods were sending me a signal, so like Justice William O. Douglas, I went west, [not so] young man. And this Grenache-based blend was very nice. Nose had warm, mossy stones, warm kirsch, roasted herbs and campfire. Mouthfilling fruit on entry, but very quickly turns savory and minerally. A bit more tannic than previous vintages I’ve had of this wine. — 4 years ago

Nepente di Oliena Riserva Cannonau

Cannonau? More like cannon-wow! Concentrated fruits, tobacco box, definitely showing its age well! — 5 years ago
