Turley Old Vine Zinfandel 2022

“As with the Juvenile bottling, the 2022 Zinfandel Old Vines punches above its weight in this vintage. The nose is considerably deeper, fuller and more polished, opening with aromas of crushed plums, wild berry preserves, tobacco leaves and similar autumnal accents to its younger sibling. The palate is light- to medium-bodied, carrying through the polished quality of the nose and melds it with a subtly dusty tannin structure and bright acidity. The finish is straightforward and easy to drink, offering generous layers of fruit, spice and floral notes.” - 92 PTS, ERIN BROOKS, WINE ADVOCATE (06/2024)

“A gutsy little red, with intense yet zesty flavors of raspberry, cranberry, savory anise and black pepper that finish with briary tannins. Drink now through 2032. 9,979 cases made.” - 92 PTS, TIM FISH, WINE SPECTATOR (03/2025)

DISTRIBUTOR  NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Old Vines is composed of a variety of old sites from California that are either too small to be made into a vineyard designate wine or are “new” to the Turley family (and way of farming). Vines are anywhere from 50 to 130 years old, and a true representation of California old vine Zinfandel, hailing from vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi, Contra Costa, Amador and Paso Robles. There is no better way to gauge the classic character of old vine Zinfandel in California than through this wine.”
