From Turley: “Old Vines is composed of a variety of old sites from California that are either too small to be made into a vineyard designate wine or are “new” to the Turley family (and way of farming). Vines are anywhere from 41 to 129 years old, and a true representation of California old vine Zinfandel, hailing from vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi, Contra Costa, Amador and Paso Robles.”

Garnet coloration. Some translucency. On the nose, cherry, plum, spice, menthol, forest floor and hints of raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, cherry cola, and earth. On the palate, cherry cola, plum, spice, menthol, vanilla, hints of rhubarb, raspberry, earth/forest floor. Full bodied and rich. Medium finish.

The last of my stash of 2015 Old Vines was still drinking really well. Beautiful transparent garnet color. A deep, rich almost chewy nose. Dark fruits and hints of raspberry, maybe even a little red Lifesaver. Mild tannins. Thanks not-so-old friend.
