It’s an anomaly to me why we don’t remember to cellar Zinfandel more often. This Turley from Lodi reminds me why we should. The aroma offers a distinctive patina - antique shop and dried roses, sage and thyme. At 21 years, the alcohol is still full throttle, but offers a very gratifying warmth. Thanks for bringing, Esther :)

Who says high alcohol wine can't age? This around 16%abv and is absolutely gorgeous! This wine has smoothed out to be floral, vegetal, with black and red fruit, supported by a plush mouthfeel and integrated acid. Simply awesome Zin.

Meg raided the library to pour us the '97 Turley Zinfandel 'Spenker Ranch'. Actually exhibited some dark berry, coffee and leather notes. Still had an acidic tang on the vibrant finish.
