2016 TURLEY “FREDERICKS VINEYARD” ZINFANDEL

Description

From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, “The 2016 Zinfandel Fredericks Vineyard hails from a site planted in 1937 on the Sonoma County side of Mt Vedeer at about 900 feet in elevation. Bursting with scents of cassis, ripe plums and cherry preserve, it’s full-bodied, plush and lavish, with a rich, deep core of fleshy fruit that largely conceals its supple tannins, followed by a long, powerful finish. With a high pH and high total acidity, it remains in balance, but it’s one of the broadest, most dramatic of Turley’s Zinfandels, and it will likely shine in its youth.” 92 Points
