Note di degustazione
(16.1% alcohol): Medium-deep red. Aromas of mocha, espresso, dried hay and menthol convey a slight funkiness that may be from the wine's Petite Syrah component; an element of medicinal black cherry emerged with air. Very sweet and liqueur-like, conveying a slightly dehydrated fruit character; less sappy and vibrant than it appeared to be at the outset but this wine may be passing through a dumb stage. This somewhat aggressive Zinfandel finishes quite long, with serious tannins that reach the front teeth. If the '01 bottling is claret-like, this is more like a Priorat wine.

Saturated ruby. Vibrant, perfumed aromas of black cherry, currant, violet and minerals. Packed with sappy berry fruit; amazingly broad and sweet but still a bit youthfully unevolved. A huge wine with solid underlying spine for aging.
Year in and year out, Turley Cellars’ most concentrated, inkiest purple-colored Zinfandel emerges from St. Helena’s Hayne Vineyard. The 2002 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard (475 cases; 16.5% alcohol) boasts superb texture, intensity, and power. Spectacular aromas of black raspberries, blackberries, and currants as well as floral notes are followed by a creamy textured, full-bodied, viscous red with remarkable delineation, acidity, and structure for its massive fruit and glycerin. This outrageous Zinfandel is as good as it gets. Drink it over the next decade. NOTE: This is an estimated price per bottle. Tel. (707) 963-0940; Fax (707) 963-8683
