Turley Duarte Vineyard Zinfandel 2009

The dark garnet/plum-hued 2009 Zinfandel  possesses abundant sandy, loamy soil notes intermixed with hints of kirsch, black currants, sweet tannins and a medium-bodied, front end-loaded, fruity style.

Turley Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel 2009

Earthy, tapenade, briery fruit, spice box and incense characterize the dark plum-colored 2009 Zinfandel.  It is a fragrant, front end-loaded 2009.

Turley Juvenile Vineyard Zinfandel 2009

The only bottled Zinfandel is the 2009 Juvenile, an outstanding effort made from the young vine lots. This pure Zinfandel offers abundant red and black, briery fruit, pepper and spice characteristics in its lush, soft, hedonistic personality. (2 bottles)

Turley Mead Ranch Zinfandel 2009

From another cool climate, high elevation site on Atlas Peak, the dark-colored 2009 Zinfandel  exhibits abundant aromas of blueberries, blackberries, crushed rocks and flowers. With considerable intensity, a multidimensional mouthfeel as well as a dense, long finish, this is one of Larry Turley’s top 2009 Zinfandels. RP 94

Turley Old Vines Zinfandel 2009

The odd lots of old vine fruit that do not fit in with any of the single vineyard wines are combined to produce the 2009 Zinfandel Old Vines. Its dark plum/ruby hue is followed by sweet aromas of briery berry fruit, herbs, incense, underbrush and soil undertones. RP 91 (3 bottles)

Turley Rattlesnake Ridge Zinfandel 2009

The dark ruby/purple hue is followed by notes of blueberries, blackberries and damp, mossy, forest floor scents. The wine possesses fabulous fruit, admirable ripeness and a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel and plenty of power as well as fruit. RP 94
