Well this is just delicious. The 'new Lodi,' in which I would happily get stuck.

The lightest colored Lodi Zin I've ever seen--Pretty in pink- raspberry preserve, bergamot, violets, hibiscus, Mexican chocolate on nose. Palate is just elegant, brilliant fruit but tons of floral impact, pleasant bit of cayenne spice. Opened up beautifully the second day with aromatics you could get lost in.

An incredible Lodi Zinfandel from Turley. When the winemaker buys the vineyard, you know it's amazing.

#Turley #Wine Cellars rocking Lodi on the label, takes a bow w/ this shiner version of the Kirschenmann Vineyard, dry farmed, self rooted, planted in 1915 and still going strong in sandy loamy soils! Winemaker Tegan Passalacqua. This wine demonstrates what's possible in the Lodi AVA in the right hands!

Deep ruby red with high intensity. A little jammy on the nose to start with bramble berries, gun powder, and some damp forest notes. Day two added to the complexity with a toasty element as well as baking spices like cinnamon and light red berries. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Very jammy with lots of super dark dried berries and sticks. Beautiful on day two and completely smoothed out. Long finish. Drink till 2024.
