American reds are rarely so good. Turley makes age-worthy wines that
will bring to mind the successes of the first generation of maverick
American winemakers who forged wild, irrepressible reds from old vines
in an era when California’s wine culture was more wild west than
boutique gift shop. In the ‘70s and ‘80s great work was done,
iconoclasts strode the earth, their wines were off-beat, visionary,
they had soul, and from that soul came the reputation that today’s
California wine industry built upon (or paved over, depending on your
point of view).
It pays to pay a little more when it comes to American reds. The small amount of wine being offered below (first-come, first served - sorry, Turley has not been significantly available in NC in the past) will be ready when you need a bottle to fit a special occasion, either this year or a generation down the line.
A note on vintage. While top-rate point-scores of laudable significance have been bestowed on all the wines in this offer, what appeals to me is the balance shown by Turley in 2006. The wines are cooler and prettier than they have been in warmer previous vintages. They are robust but also behave themselves nicely, rugby players in tuxedos- you get what I am saying.
2006 Turley Cedarman Howell Mountain Zinfandel $33.99 24 bottles available
2006 Turley Dogtown Vineyard Lodi Zinfandel $44.99 24 bottles available
2006 Turley Duarte Contra Costa County Zinfandel $38.99 24 bottles available
2006 Turley Dusi Vineyard Paso Robles Zinfandel $49.99 6 bottles available
2006 Turley Rattlesnake Ridge Howell Mountain $47.99 24 bottles available
15% case discounts apply, and as always mix-and-match is fine. Talk to you soon.
Old Vine Zinfandel can be a beautiful thing.
