2016 TURLEY JUDGE BELL ZINFANDEL

Description

From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, “Winemaker Tegan Passalacqua suggests the 2016 Zinfandel Judge Bell Vineyard is strangely reminiscent of Nebbiolo, and it’s difficult to disagree. The wine displays a complex bouquet of dried herbs, sage and juicy red-black fruit, followed by a full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate with chewy, stony tannins and an enticingly bittersweet “amaro” finish that’s a world away from how Zinfandel is commonly rendered. This is one of the most singular wines in the Turley lineup.” 93 Points
