Very limited. 94 Points Robert Parker: "The 2013 Zinfandel Judge Bell comes from a block of vines planted in 1907 known as Picnic Hill Block in the Story Vineyard. These are classic head-pruned, dry-farmed, ungrafted vines planted eight years before the beginning of World War I. One of the best Amador Zinfandels I’ve ever tasted, this wine displays plenty of briary raspberry, black and red cherry as well as boysenberry fruit, good underlying structure, some earth, pepper, meat and spice. It is full-bodied, rich, heady, and somehow manages to brilliantly conceal a whopping 16.2% natural alcohol. Of course, a wine like this would be excoriated by the “in pursuit of balance” crowd, but this is what balance is all about – what looks to be a mind-numbing amount of alcohol is incredibly well-concealed. This wine should drink well for 8-10 years."

The brisket recipe suggests a rich, full-bodied Zinfandel. This was exactly what we needed. A great example of a really well-made Zin, just what you expect from Turley.

16.2% ABV, and not a hint of heat. That’s a balanced wine. Excellent pairing with takeout chicken cacciatore, helping the local restaurants while we’re staying home. Nice to have lots of good wine on hand.

This wine is a bruiser. Brambly dark berries and spice make up this wine built to last. No rush to drink but if you do give it a big decant. Opened up more on the second day but not completely.
