Turley Cellars Zinfandel Duarte Vineyard 2017 (750ML)

93 WA / 91 VM

The 2017 Zinfandel Duarte comes from three vineyards planted between 1890 and 1930, with own-rooted vines in sandy soils. Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, it opens with warm cinnamon toast, shaved nutmeg and touches of candied peach over a core of sliced blueberries and warm black cherries with earthy nuances. Medium to full-bodied, it has great intensity in the mouth, with black and blue fruits and spicy layers, great juicy acidity and a structuring frame of ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and flavorful. 1,500 cases produced. Erin Brooks – The Wine Advocate

The 2017 Zinfandel Duarte has developed into a gorgeous wine. Fragrant spice and blood orange notes give the Duarte a distinctive, exotic feel. Medium in body, supple and generous, the Duarte is flat-out delicious. This silky, fragrant Zinfandel is a real winner. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
