Turley Zinfandel Old Vines Paso Robles 2023 750ml

California's Definitive Old Vine Zinfandel

Turley Wine Cellars is the benchmark producer for old vine Zinfandel in California, farming some of the state's most ancient and storied vineyards. The Old Vines bottling is a masterclass in what age does to a vine — drawing from sites across Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi, Contra Costa, Amador, and Paso Robles, with vines ranging from 50 to 130 years old. Too small or too new to be vineyard-designates, these sites collectively tell the story of California old vine Zinfandel better than any single vineyard can.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022 

• Wine Advocate — 92 pts: "The nose is considerably deeper, fuller and more polished, opening with aromas of crushed plums, wild berry preserves, tobacco leaves and autumnal accents. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with a subtly dusty tannin structure and bright acidity. Generous layers of fruit, spice and floral notes on the finish."

Winemaker Notes

Turley Zinfandel Old Vines Paso Robles 2023 750ml

Dark brambly fruits — dark berry and fruitcake — dominate the palate. Notes of gingerbread, black pepper, and cinnamon add beautifully spiced complexity, with hints of Herbes de Provence and a slight herbal quality throughout.
