This is a warm area, but with cold soils, and the result is one of the great classics of Zinfandel from the Central Coast. The intensity of flavor, the colossal richness and the full-bodied power are totally concealed beneath a cascade of fruit. This multidimensional wine reveals gorgeous minerality, loads of black and red fruits, and even a hint of spring flowers. This is a stunner that is layered, extremely long, pure and heady. Drink it over the next decade. The Pesenti Vineyard was planted in the 1920s.\n\nAll told there are seven Zinfandels from Napa Valley, ranging from Atlas Peak in the south, to Howell Mountain in mid-valley, to the estate vineyard just north of St. Helena. As one might expect, all of these are remarkable Zinfandels. \n\nSomething new from Turley are their three cuvées of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Dragon Vineyard from Howell Mountain, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Turley Estate Vineyard and the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard from Sonoma. Great winemaking for Zinfandel certainly seems to translate well when it comes to dealing with Cabernet Sauvignon, at least in the case of Larry Turley and his staff. \n\nTurley continues to excel with probably the most underrated grape in California, Petite Sirah. It is the ultimate antioxidant red wine grape, taking forever to shed tannin and be approachable, but lasting easily, in the best cases, for 20-30 or more years. I tasted five cuvées of Petite Sirah from Turley (and remember, they spell “Sirah” as “Syrah”). What is remarkable is that these wines are all significantly lower in alcohol than the Zinfandels or even the Cabernet Sauvignons. The first three Petite Sirahs from the Turley estate are from the Library Vineyard and Pesenti Vineyard, all tipping the scales at 14.4% alcohol, with the Rattlesnake ridge at 15% and the Hayne Vineyard about the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Parker - 96 points \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"David Grey","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43036544237731,"sku":"153298","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/products\/red_wine_768710bc-8e9e-429f-846b-6c43f22b7337.jpg?v=1682314097","url":"https:\/\/cellar.com\/products\/turley-pesenti-zinfandel-paso-robles-2014-750ml","provider":"Cellar.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
