Taster’s Notes:

“Big wine, dark purple, concentrated, big nose of sugar, burnt oak and vanilla with flavor profile of some mocha, raisins, figs and oak.”

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

“A savory composition of berry preserves, toffee and spicy oak aromatics serves as a beautiful introduction to our latest offering. This elegant wine lingers on the palate, slowly drifting to a chewy, yet supple finish.”

Winemaker Notes: “Chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla and spice fragances...silken richness on the palate,barrel aged in oak...excellent aging potential, limited bottling".

Vineyard Notes: “Steacy Ranch was one of the first vineyards planted on St. George rootstock in Lodi, which has since become the gold standard for Zinfandel in California. Hailing from 1907, the Zinfandel vines in this sandy-soiled vineyard are interspersed with Grenache, Carignane, and Mission varieties as well, all common bedfellows in these classic old California vineyards.”

Winemaker Notes: “Full ruby-violet color. Ripe, jammy blackberry, licorice and pepper aromas with a hint of dark chocolate make this our most intensely aromatic Port yet. Full-bodied, yet graceful blackfruit, cassis and spicy-blackpepper flavors are enriched by firm but integrated tannins, and a warm but not fiery finish. The alcohol is already well-married into the structure of the wine, and the luscious finish suggests this wine will age gracefully for a decade or more. Ideal with chocolate or berry fruit desserts, as well as blue-veined cheeses.”

Tasting Notes:

“Winemaker Tegan Passalacqua”s family owns the Kirschenmann Vineyard in Lodi and the Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard (15.2% alcohol) is yet another Turley offering that wants to transport the taster to the Southern Rhône Valley of France. Yet it is more than the powers of suggestion that the aromas of raspberry, kirsch liqueur, earth, spice and pepper are all present in this wine, made from head-pruned, ungrafted vines. This is a juicy, up-front, full-bodied yet elegant Zinfandel to drink over the next 5-6 years.”

Winemaker Notes:

“With a rich ruby color, this full-bodied wine opens with aromas of cigar box, Bing cherries, cranberry sauce, saddle leather, and bay leaves. On the palate, we find flavors of Luxardo cherries, Campari, Valrhona chocolate, pomegranates, and apple tartlets, with robust tannins and hints of freshly turned earth and crushed rocks on the long and persistent finish.”
