Another bold, expressive, and truly delicious wine from Turley. The 2022 Kirschenmann Zinfandel enchants the drinker with classic old vine charm, ripe red fruits (including cherry of course, from which the vineyard shares its name), roasted meats, spices, sandalwood, with a greatly balanced acidity and tannic structure.

Owned by winemaker Tegan Passalacqua since 2012, this site was planted in 1915 on white sand soils on limestone bedrock. The 2022 Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard opens with a slight reduction that gives way to ripe wild berries, dried orange peel, potpourri and tea leaves after significant aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, plump and quite generous at this stage, leading to an elegant, sweet-fruited and floral finish that begins on an evasive note but swells and builds in amplitude over time. Given the initial reduction and performance of the finish, this should benefit significantly from 2-3 years in bottle. It includes Mondeuse Noire, Carignan and Cinsault. 93+ (ML)
