Turley Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel 2016

$65

Very limited Turley Zinfandel. previous vintage 93 Robert Parker:  "From Paso Robles, the Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard (planted in 1945) is the more potent of the Turley 2014s, coming in at a lofty 16% alcohol. It is not overripe, not Amarone-like, or showing any heat. This wine has plenty of blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, licorice, and roasted herbs that are reminiscent of Mediterranean-styled wine, with a full-bodied mouthfeel and a heady, lush finish. This is impressive, but clearly one of the bigger-boned, larger-scaled Zinfandels in the 2014 portfolio. Drink it over the next decade."

One of my favorite Turley Zin vineyards. Always a soft, fruit and flower forward expression. Springtime BBQs in a glass. Drinks well young too.

Tobacco leaf on nose. Bold, dry, spicy. Lots of dark fruit and ground pepper on palate.

Keeping this review simple, as a day of tasting has blown my palette. Turley makes something like 30 single vineyard Zins. The Dusi, like their other Paso sites, is stylistically between the elegance of Contra Costa and the burly structure of their Napa mountain sites. This drinks well for being so young, searing acid aside.
