Turley Kirschenmann Vineyard Zinfandel 2015
Very limited Turley Zinfandel. Tasting Notes: "Winemaker Tegan Passalacqua’s family owns the Kirschenmann Vineyard in Lodi, and the Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard (15.2% alcohol) is yet another Turley offering that wants to transport the taster to the Southern Rhône Valley of France. Yet it is more than the powers of suggestion that the aromas of raspberry, kirsch liqueur, earth, spice and pepper are all present in this wine, made from head-pruned, ungrafted vines. This is a juicy, up-front, full-bodied yet elegant Zinfandel to drink over the next 5-6 years. ."

Nice to revisit this about a year after first tasting it. Darker and a bit richer than say the bedrock version. Dark cherry on the initial nose. Accessible and plush, with good acidity and a nice tannic grip.

Spicy, but smooth Lodi Zinfandel, well-balanced acid and tannin with cherry notes, at birthday dinner with friends in Wellesley, MA

Cherry, raspberry, dried herb (sage maybe). Definitely an outlier of the turley profile as it is more restrained, elegant, acidic. not as lush or layered as other turleys (4hrs in the fruit is softening up). The bright acidic fruit shows up front but the herbs/earth show up somewhere in the mid palate and dominate the finish. Still well made, and I have no doubt this would be appreciated by those wanting a more elegant style of zin.

Polished winemaking. Fine texture. Veers toward feminine. Dark fruit, a bit of earth. Lighter than expected. Decant. Serve cool / cellar temp! Pairs well with NCAA tournament and corned beef and cabbage.
