2023 Turley - Zinfandel Estate (750ml)
Introducing the 2023 Turley Estate Zinfandel (750ml), a Napa Valley expression that embodies Turley Wine Cellars' devotion to old-vine fruit and low-intervention winemaking. Often described as the family's backyard wine, this bottling draws fruit from the estate area just north of St. Helena, where head-trained, dry-farmed vines yield small berries with intense flavor. The organic farming approach and the use of native yeasts during fermentation preserve the site’s character rather than imposing a uniform style.
Though rooted in Napa warmth, the wine maintains the structure Zinfandel needs to age gracefully. The result is a plush, hedonistic profile built on ripe dark fruit with baking spice and a touch of dried herb weaving through a full-bodied, generous texture. The finish brings a warming note from alcohol balanced by soft, well-integrated tannins.
