2022 Turley Zinfandel ‘Old Vines’ California
#14 PRIMA’s ’24 for 24’ Best Wines Of The Year
Shipping included on orders of 6 bottles or more
When it comes to good ol’ fashioned California Zinfandel, there’s one name that stands head and shoulders over all the others when it comes to sheer hedonistic pleasure. Turley Cellars! Turley, of course, raised what was a pretty low bar for Zinfandel when it first burst on the scene in the mid-1990s; a time when we had to ask customers whether or not they meant red Zin when they ordered. The Turley style emphasized ripe fruit, elevated levels of alcohol and, above all, a gorgeous, plush hedonistic sort of texture. Most importantly, Turley established a home for the grapes of some of America’s oldest and most endangered Zinfandel vineyards, over the decades creating a stable of old sites throughout California that would hold them in great stead. While best-known for their single-vineyard offerings, it was Larry Turley and then-winemaker Ehren Jordan who emphasized two cuvees that blended the characters of all of the vineyards with which they worked- the Juveniles that uses the younger vines and the California Old Vines that focused on the older. The former is a bright, lilting (lilting for Zin, that is) wine focused on fruit, while the Old Vines (now in stock) is noticeably more complex with duskier hints of bramble and floral notes as well as more depth. We’ve decided it’s just the perfect wine to have when the situation calls for burgers from the grill, drinking all on its own and pairing with Sunday football tailgating fare!
Just released an open season!
