2000 Turley Vineyard 101 California (750ml) |
$37.00
|
||||
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 89 | |||||
| Medium dullish red. Cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate and a meaty note on the nose. Supple and fat on entry, then a bit less sweet in the middle than on the nose and the wine's 16.6% alcohol would suggest. Rather cool flavors of strawberry liqueur and mint. Slightly dry on the finish. | |||||
| Robert Parker 87 | |||||
| "Moderate levels of sweet and sour cherries, currants, minerals, and earth are present in the restrained, perfumed, elegant, dark ruby-colored 2000 Zinfandel Vineyard 101 (125 cases). For a Larry Turley/Ehren Jordan offering, it plays it close to the vest." | |||||
2005 Turley Uberroth California (750ml) |
$59.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 91-94 | |||||
| Not surprisingly, the 2009 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard exhibits lots of structure as well as a chalky minerality, lavish kirsch and black currant fruit and more muscle and density than many of its siblings. It will be even better with 1-2 years of bottle age and will be one of the few 2009 Zins that will last a decade or more. | |||||
2006 Turley Old Vines California (750ml) |
$60.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 88-90 | |||||
| The 2006 Zinfandel Old Vines, which is a blend of old-vine parcels that are too small to be sold as single-vineyards, has a deeper ruby color, with hints of roasted herbs, pepper, nori (seaweed wrapper) intermixed with black cherry, raspberry, plum, and some spice. It is a fleshy wine with loads of fruit, medium to full body, and a supple texture. | |||||
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 88 | |||||
| Good ruby-red. Smoke and mocha on the nose, along with some slightly porty, earthy low tones. Fat, creamy and sweet, conveying an impression of alcohol and slight heaviness. A broad and rather powerful wine that's not currently showing much fruit. It's hard to imagine this getting more interesting in bottle. | |||||
2009 Turley Cederman California (750ml) |
$42.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 92-94 | |||||
| A sensational offering, the 2009 Zinfandel Cedarman boasts a deep plum/purple color as well as notes of blueberries, raspberries, spring flowers, damp earth, pepper and licorice. It is a complex, full-throttle, deep, rich Zinfandel to enjoy over the next 6-8 years. | |||||
2009 Turley Dragon Vineyard California (750ml) |
$55.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90-92 | |||||
| The 2009 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard possesses copious fruit and spice, medium body, a precocious, front end-loaded style and a good finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. | |||||
2009 Turley Dusi Ranch California (750ml) |
$49.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker | |||||
| Earthy, tapenade, briery fruit, spice box and incense characterize the dark plum-colored 2009 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard. It is a fragrant, front end-loaded 2009, but it does not reveal the depth of some of the biggest Zins in this portfolio. It should drink well for 2-3 years. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 91 | |||||
| Powerful and appealingly rustic, offering briary black raspberry aromas and rich, structured flavors of baked cherry that mix with tart plum, anise, smoky sage and underbrush notes. Ripe tannins grab hold at the end. | |||||
