Turley Wine Cellars Turley Old Vines Zinfandel 2021 750ml

The 2021 Zinfandel Old Vines has a medium ruby color and plush red and black cherries on the nose with accents of mushrooms, forest floor, savory spices and mint. The full-bodied palate is grainy and refreshing with generous berry fruit and a long, spicy finish. It’s similar to the Juvenile with a bit more oomph, and it’s just as easy to drink. (Erin Brooks)

Bold and jammy but balanced, with blackberry cobbler, licorice and savory pepper flavors building tension toward briary tannins. Drink now through 2032. 9,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)

The 2023 Zinfandel Old Vines is packed with dark cherry, plum, cedar, spice, tobacco and dried herbs. The mix of forward fruit and complicating earthy/savory notes makes for a compelling budget-friendly Zinfandel.
