Note di degustazione
(this was bottled very late as it only finished its malolactic fermentation in November of 2006!) Medium red. High-toned, liqueur-like aromas of cherry, licorice and earth. Dense and thick but with lovely ripe acidity giving shape to the sweet, high-toned flavors. A broad, lush, mouthfilling style of zinfandel that shows more of a saline, savory character than typical zinfandel spice.

The late-released 2004 Zinfandel Rancho Burro was the finest Zinfandel I tasted at Turley. This beautifully full-bodied, opulent, flamboyant, sexy, exuberant offering is loaded with oodles of black raspberry, cherry, cassis, and spice. It admirably displays what a difference a vintage can make as 2004 is unquestionably a stronger vintage than 2005 for Zinfandel. Previously recommended: As indicated last year, 2004 was a terrific vintage for Turley Zinfandels. If they can still be found, I would opt for purchasing them over their lighter 2005 counterparts. The 2004 reds include: Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard (97), Petite Syrah Library Vineyard (97), Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge (97), Petite Syrah Turley Estate (94), Zinfandel Dogtown Vineyard (88), Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard (94), Zinfandel Duarte (92), Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard (90), Zinfandel Grist Vineyard (94), Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard (95), Zinfandel Juvenile (89), Zinfandel Mead Ranch (89), Zinfandel Moore Earthquake Vineyard (92), Zinfandel Old Vines (91), Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard (92), Zinfandel Rancho Escondido (89), Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge (92), Zinfandel Tofanelli Vineyard (89), Zinfandel Turley Estate (91), Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard (92), Zinfandel Vineyard 101 (95).
