The 2022 Zinfandel Turley Estate is composed of three generations of plantings that commenced in 1996. Medium to deep ruby in the glass, it opens with pure, deep, characteristic aromas of grilled yellow peaches, red cherry, redcurrant, lavender, leather and angostura bitters, revealing finer detail as it spends time in the glass. The palate is massively rich, full-bodied and powerful, with a brooding density that melds with grainy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. The finish is layered, dramatic and perfumed, with an overarching youthful density that will take a few years in bottle to unwind. This is a lovely effort that combines modern density with a classically framed structure.

(90-92 points) The 2022 Zinfandel Turley Estate is a brooding, earthy wine with good depth and fine persistence. Today the fruit is very much in the background, making this one of the more reticent, inward wines in the range. It will be interesting to see if the fruit emerges more fully over time. -Antonio Galloni
