Let's Kick Off 2020—And the First Release of Our 26Th Vintage! Dear Friends, Welcome to the first Turley release of the new decade! Let’s kick off 2020—and the first release of our 26th vintage! —with a bang, shall we? The 2018 vintage marks the 20th harvest for our beloved Turley Estate Zinfandel in Napa! We’ve done a bit of spring cleaning and re-organizing. One of the first (teeny) changes I made when I started working at Turley nearly a decade ago was to move the Old Vines from the spring to the fall release—seemed like a no- brainer to give that wine more time in the bottle and offer it during more suitable weather, and it’s all the better for it! Now, the powers that be (Larry) agreed to give it a shot with the Howell Mountain wines (Rattlesnake Ridge & Dragon) as well! It’s something I’d wanted to try for quite some time, but as you can see, it can take a while (nearly 10 years!) for everyone (ahem, Dad) to get used to a new idea. In the same vein, we decided to move the Pesenti Zinfandel to the current release. This beautiful certified organic estate wine, with its delicate floral and vibrant red fruit aromatics, always seemed more suited to springtime anyway! Finally, it is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to the prize-winning poet and overall beautiful person Jane Mead, along with her incomparable vineyard, Mead Ranch. The 2018 Mead Ranch will be the 19th and last vintage under Turley. We mourn the loss of a grower and her eponymous vines and will treasure her memory alongside this final paradigm of Atlas Peak Zinfandel for many years to come. Old Vines Young Love, Christina Turley, Larry Turley, & Tegan Passalacqua Turley Wine Cellars 2019 Turley “Estate” Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley Though a recent addition to the Turley family, Sauvignon Blanc was one of the first wines ever made from the Turley Estate in 1993. Those vines have since been replaced by Zinfandel, but we have replanted a small section of the estate to dry- farmed, head-trained Sauvignon Blanc from heritage Napa Valley budwood once again. Get while the getting’s good though—Larry is hoarding as much as possible for himself, and sharpening his oyster shucker as we speak! Bright, honeyed stone fruits such as white nectarines and apricots, as well as a bit of sun-warmed citrus on the nose. The palate of the ’19 Sauvignon Blanc shows a hair more heft & chutzpah than in years past, with a satiating multi- dimensional texture. As this is a young wine, we advise allowing the bottles a moment to catch their breath (at least a few weeks?) before you open them up! 2018 Turley “Bedrock Vineyard” Zinfandel, Sonoma Valley Hailing from 1888 and owned by Joel Peterson (founder of Ravenswood) and his son Morgan Twain-Peterson of Bedrock Wine Co., the Bedrock Vineyard is truly an iconic site. Right in the heart of Sonoma Valley, these ancient vines are planted amidst volcanic rocks and Los Robles cobbly loam soil that has sloughed down from Monte Rosso. This is a layered, complex wine, owing perhaps to the small amounts of Petite Syrah and Alicante Bouschet that are also found in our organically-farmed block of Bedrock. One of the best years ever for our iteration of Bedrock, with dark red fruits, earthy loam, plum, and spice; a brooding, old-world wine, almost Claret-like in breadth. Perfectly ripe, well-structured with lively, fresh tannins on the palate. Lay it down in the cellar or decant to let the wine truly thrive. 2018 Turley “Buck Cobb Vineyard” Zinfandel, Amador County Planted at 1500 feet on the volcanic, granitic hillside near our property in Amador, the Cobb Vineyard Zinfandel is an homage to “Buck” Cobb from whom we purchased the vineyard and the Karly property in Amador. We even added a little bi-plane symbol to the label to commemorate Buck’s time as an aerobatic pilot! The rocky conditions and more extreme weather (including snow) in this dry-farmed vineyard make for a hearty, robust Zinfandel. Bright, pretty, red fruits and alpine garrigue/underbrush perfume on the nose. On the palate, the ‘18 Cobb is nimble, ready to drink, with excellent grippy granitic tannins. The copious spice and naturally rustic texture is reminiscent of Piemonte reds like Barbaresco, and make this wine a natural pairing with your favorite Italian foods. Like the many Italian immigrant prospectors who helped lay the groundwork for these vines in the Sierra Foothills, decant alongside your pasta al diavolo and prosper! 2018 Turley “Casa Nuestra” Red Wine, Napa Valley Connoisseurs of Napa Valley field blends will likely recognize the vineyard, made primarily under the eponymous label and farmed organically since 1979. For the formerly uninitiated, Casa Nuestra is nearly adjacent to the Turley Estate property in Napa Valley, just across the nearby Napa River. The vineyard is planted to a Mediterranean mix of Petite Syrah, Zinfandel, Alicante, Carignane, Napa Gamay, Négrette, Mourvèdre, Refosco, and even Chenin Blanc. A quintessential Napa Valley field blend red: dark, rich fruits on the nose with earth, cinnamon, blue fruits and graphite. A truly inviting wine that begs to be revisited as it opens up through the course of a meal. Dynamic and layered on the palate, with a plethora of fresh fruits, spices, and tons of personality; this is an exceptional food pairing wine. We’re dreaming of burgers, but cassoulet or really any hearty dish will do! Great straight out of the gate and likely even better with time; a complete package of a wine. 2018 Turley “Duarte” Zinfandel, Contra Costa County This wine is an homage to Joe Duarte, a prominent grape grower in Contra Costa who first introduced Turley to the incredible vineyards of the area. The wine is comprised of fruit from the turn-of-the-century Evangehlo, Mori, and Salvador vineyards, planted between 1890 and 1930. Thanks to the sandy soils and impressive age of the vines, the wine has some of the softest, silkiest tannins we’ve ever seen in a Zinfandel. An engaging nose of sun-ripened peach skin with tones of dark blue fruits & flowers as well. The palate is teeming with ripe berries and stone fruits, with the Duarte’s signature suave, mouth-watering texture. Excessively easy to drink immediately, the wine showed stellar from the very first pour! 2018 Turley “Dusi Vineyard” Zinfandel, Paso Robles The Dusi vineyard was planted by Dante Dusi in 1945 and it is farmed by his family to this day. The vines are head-trained and dry-farmed, planted in soil that is mostly alluvial with some very large rocks. Like our other vineyards in the area, Dusi is on the west side of Paso Robles. The darker, more plush cousin to the Pesenti Zinfandel. Wild black cherries and lavender alongside crème de mure, blueberries and gravel. Exceptionally expressive on the palate, with blue-black fruits, higher density and more structure than years previous. Feel free to crack it & attack it, as it’s good to go! 2018 Turley “Juvenile” Zinfandel, California Though the vast majority of our wines are single vineyard designates, Juvenile is actually composed of a variety of young vines that have been replanted in several of our old vine sites. We tag the younger vines then pick them separately and make a distinct wine. Juvenile vines range in age from about 6-25 years, and we pull from a selection of our best vineyards across California, including Hayne, Pesenti, Salvador, Vineyard 101, Fredericks, and Kirschenmann. Hailing from 29 vineyards in 11 different counties across our beautiful Golden State, Turley Juvenile sets the standard for classic California Zinfandel. Bright, vibrant pepper and spice, lovely lifted red fruits, satiating acidity, and a hint of blue fruits as well. Lithely textured with pure precision and tons of energy on the palate. The wine is perfectly ready and a-rarin’ to go right on release! 2018 Turley “Kirschenmann Vineyard” Zinfandel, Lodi The Kirschenmann is close to our hearts as our winemaker, Tegan Passalacqua, owns and farms this vineyard. The ungrafted vines were planted in 1915 in the silica-rich sandy soils of the east side of the Mokelumne River AVA. Thanks to the river’s cool waters and delta breezes, these head-trained, dry-farmed vines are constantly protected from the heat. In the grand tradition of old-vine field blends, the vineyard has small amounts of Mondeuse, Cinsault, and Carignane. Savory red fruits, wafts of dark perfume and spicy mint leaves. Wafts of appealing herbs and black tea with a hint of tangerine leaf. The core of the wine is very dark, and the palate has excellent depth with pleasantly textured tannins balanced by vivacious acidity. Larry took one sip, sighed and said “This makes me want to cook lamb!” Drinking well now (especially with the aforementioned lamb) and will stay fresh in the cellar thanks to the bracing acidity. 2018 Turley “Mead Ranch” Zinfandel, Atlas Peak Mead Ranch is planted at about 1600 feet on Atlas Peak, on the southeastern side of Napa Valley. The vineyard was originally planted in the 1880s, though our block is primarily from the 1970s. This vineyard is head-trained, planted in red volcanic soil. On a clear day you can see San Francisco; though those are few and far between, and thus this vineyard sees plenty of fog from the bay. 2018 is the 19th and final vintage of the Mead Ranch Zinfandel for Turley. Extremely expressive on the nose, Mead Ranch has always stood out in the spring tasting and is the easiest one to guess blind.

  • Lodi. Not Just Zinfandel When Many People Think About Lodi, the Rst Thing That Comes to Mind Is Zinfandel and Quite OEn, Other Lower Price Bulk Produced Wines
    Lodi. Not just Zinfandel When many people think about Lodi, the rst thing that comes to mind is Zinfandel and quite oen, other lower price bulk produced wines. But nothing could be further from the truth and today Lodi is considered by many as one of California's most innovative grow- ing areas. Even though wine grapes have ourished in Lodi since the later part of the 19th Century, it is oen thought of as a "new up-and-coming discovery" in California wines. Old Vine Zinfandel (and they are really old with some vines dating to the 1880s) represents the largest portion of vineyard land in the AVA. But more than 100 varietals are planted in Lodi's 100,000+ vineyard acres - most with Old World ancestry from France, Spain, Italy, Portugal etc. ere are countless soil types and microclimates throughout the area that encourage extensive exploration and experimentation on the part of progressive and courageous growers. Lodi was also the rst California AVA to establish very strict 3rd-party certied rules (the Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowing Program) governing sustainable growing methods as well as the industry's impact on the environment and the local economy. Lodi is more than just Zinfandel and hopefully, today's column will introduce you to some if its hidden splendor. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts and as always I invite you to share your comments and questions with other readers. Napa Valley Register APRIL 18, 2019 e Wine Exchange | Allen R. Balik Lodi. Not just Zinfandel e Lodi American Viticultural Area (AVA) is nestled between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the northernmost part of California's Central Valley.

  • 2018 CONTACT Patrick Mcneil (415)
    VINEYARDS McEvoy Ranch: Located 30 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the rolling hills of Marin County, McEvoy Ranch is a 550-acre certified organic ranch that remains committed to sustainable farming practices since it was originally founded in 1990. The ranch is fully certified by the CCOF, and it is the standard for sustainable, full-circle eco-farming in Marin County. The western edge of the Petaluma Gap AVA provides for even ripening, concentration, and incredible balance- McEvoy Ranch is no exception. The site is incredibly diverse; Syrah, Alicante, Grenache, Pinot Noir and Montepulciano all thrive here, and several varietals are interplanted between the rows of the vast olive tree orchards. Pacheco Ranch: The Pacheco Ranch Vineyard is located 20 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in Novato, California. This vineyard is unique for several reasons: Herb Rowland is the 7th generation shepherd of this site, and it stands today as the oldest continuously-farmed-by-one-family spot of dirt in the State of California. The terraced hillside Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards range in age from 25 to 50 years old. And while most Marin County vineyards benefit from the cooling influence of the Pacific, Pacheco Ranch is the most easterly vineyard site in the county and it shares the same exact climate as the iconic Rutherford AVA in the Napa Valley. Lewis Ranches: Jim Lewis is directly responsible for 20 acres of impeccably farmed Primitivo in Victor, California. This is located in the historic growing region of the Mokelumne River AVA in Lodi, where deeply-rooted, sandy riverbed soils have fertilized this grape growing hot spot since well before the California Gold Rush.

  • The International Wine Review
    Complimentary Copy The International Wine Review California Zinfandel: A New Look Foreword by Joel Peterson Special Double Issue May/June 2017 1 Foreward Zinfandel has a long history in California. Much of that history is about adaptation to changing circumstance. The last 40 years have brought more change to the style and quality of the wines made from Zinfandel than ever before. Hence, while much has been written about this grape and its wine over the years, it is a bit surprising that a comprehensive up-to-date synopsis of its history in California, the growing regions that it inhabits, the winemakers who have wholeheartedly embraced it, or the excellent wines that are crafted from Zinfandel has not emerged. Fortunately that has changed with this report. As the modern California wine business has emerged from the late 1960’s the skill of its winemakers, the understanding of viticulture, wine making technology and consumer enthusiasm have all reach levels never before achieved. This has benefited Zinfandel greatly. Its ancient DNA has found a comfortable fit in the evolving California wine scene. The wines are better, at all levels, than they have ever been. The current review of California Zinfandel from the good people at the International Wine Review could not come at a more opportune time. They have written a thorough review of the current state of Zinfandel in California, its history, growing regions, winemakers, wineries and of course, its wine. While I cannot endorse the scores given the wines, as they are entirely the opinion of the International Wine Review.
