Note di degustazione
The first Zinfandel from the Pesenti Vineyard vinified by Larry Turley and Ehren Jordan is the 2000. This old, 50-acre Paso Robles vineyard is planted on pure limestone (one of the few limestone vineyards in California). It carries 15.3% alcohol. The wine is structured, with surprisingly high acidity (the limestone effect), a deep ruby/purple color, graceful black currant and raspberry flavors, and hints of pepper, minerals, and spice. This elegant, European-styled Zinfandel is atypical compared to the other Turley offerings. It should drink well for a decade. (Release date 10/02) Tel. (707) 963-0940; Fax (707) 963-8683

(Turley's first zin from these vines, which were harvested between October 20 and November 15 in 2000) Medium red. Pungent aromas of peppery red fruits, complicated by herbal and resiny nuances; has the sweet/sour quality of a fruit tart. Tangy red berry flavors enlivened by harmonious acidity. Quite tightly wound and promising. Finishes with fine tannins and very good length. Showing well today. From a 1923 planting in a cool site.
