96 points Very limited new Turley Zin release. 94 Points Robert Parker: "Absolutely sumptuous, the 2014 Zinfandel Judge Bell Vineyard (planted in 1907) is another Amador County cuvée, coming in at 15.5% alcohol. This is a big, dark, full-bodied wine with expressive aromatics of sweet red, blue and black fruits, spice, a dash of pepper, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and Turley’s signature hallmark of purity and vibrant fruit nicely balanced by acidity and sweet tannin. Hedonistic, but also intellectually satisfying, this big, juicy Amador Zinfandel should drink well for 5-6 years."

Excellent, well made Zin. Blooming aromas of orange marmalade, fig, and pannetone. Vibrant acidity keeps it lighter than expected.

One of my favorite zins. Bold, smooth tannins. Lots of jammy fruits.
