Turley
Steacy Ranch Lodi Zinfandel
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
Insanely elegant. So endemic. Old vines (1907) on st George rootstock. Interplanted with Grenache and mission. It shows. Not complex in a French style but so complex as an old American blend. Very intellectual I guess.

Blackberry jam and chocolate figs on the nose. Super concentrated, dense mouth filling texture. Finishes nicely with some coffee bean and spice tones.

May 9th, 2022Popped a special Turley for the holidays! Great with porchetta and roasted cauliflower and squash. Becky got the 🫐 right away. Agree with Turley tasting notes that this wine is an "Everlasting Gobstopper" -- dinner and dessert in one.

Dec 24th, 2021Sometimes proper Zin can be so comforting... This pure, clean and bright with a finish for days without being too much.

Very smooth. Low tannins and a some residual sugars on the finish

Nov 28th, 2020Medium purple with light ruby red accents. Spice is all over this baby from the jump. Black and white pepper, along with baking spices. Red fruits mingle with blackberry cobbler and cinnamon. Fresh cut grass and little traces of beautiful violets on the back end.
Incredibly dense and just plain lovely. Since this is a Turley we already know that this will not be an over the top syrupy fruit bomb mess. Where other Zins zig and zag, they continuously stay the course. Decadent and elegant, this has a lush mouthfeel and firm tannins. Highly concentrated but never in a bad way.
Cherries bat lead off on the robust palate with vanilla and more blackberries. Smoke, spice, and oak are present with moist soil. Wonderful new leather plays a back up role. Roasted coffee on the long finish. This is not a fruit forward Zinfandel unlike so many others. This is just delicious.

Deep red color, thick cathedral legs after swirling, aromas of cinnamon and strawberries, robust fruit taste with a hint of strawberry

Zin we had at Durant’s for Mom’s birthday. Really enjoyable wine. Del cherry and oak undertones. Great with steak. Medium bodied but great wine. Held up to the steak.
