2013 Turley 'Cobb Vineyard' Zinfandel Amador
A special library release from the winery. From vines 1500 feet above sea level in the volcanic hills of Amador, this single-vineyard Zinfandel is an eruption of red fruit, robust mouthfeel, sensational spice and seductively dark, tarry earth. Jump out of your brain cloud and let this bottle take you away from the things of man!
Wine Advocate
A lighter Zinfandel (although by no means should the word “wimpy” be implied), the 2013 Zinfandel Cobb Vineyard from Amador tips the scales at 15.3% alcohol. This higher elevation vineyard (1500 feet) planted in volcanic and granite soils has produced a more finesse-styled and aromatic Zinfandel. It possesses a touch of austerity, but beautiful, almost Pinot Noir-inspired black cherry and berry fruit. Some minerality again makes an appearance in the wine. Medium to full-bodied, it is very stylish, and for those who want a Zinfandel more reserved and restrained, this is your pick of the Turley portfolio. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
