Very limited Turley Zinfandel. 91+ Robert Parker: "Playing it closer to the vest, but still impressive is the 2014 Zinfandel Duarte Vineyard, which comes from sandy soils as well as vines planted between 1890 and 1930 in Contra Costa County. This is another heady Zinfandel (15.5% alcohol) that exhibits a nice, dark ruby color and loamy soil undertones intermixed with blueberry, strawberry and cherry. It seems to be slightly more reserved and tighter, but spicy and rich. This seems like a candidate to improve for another several years and drink beautifully for another 7-8."

A bit of a bruiser at 15.6% alc but very enjoyable and super aromatic at this early state.

Good complexity and some wild berry flavors on the nose. Had good acidity and depth without being too hot even at 15.6%.
