Medium ruby. Pungent, rocky aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, violet and pepper. Compellingly juicy and penetrating, with outstanding silky density leavened by pungent spice and violet lift. This really resounds on the long, minerally aftertaste. These vines were planted in 1885. Another knockout from this superb site. (ST)

Another offering from the chalky, limestone soils of Paso Robles is the 2007 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard. It reveals a Burgundian-like character with a delicacy and restraint that are atypical for a Turley Zinfandel. Good acidity along with notes of crushed rocks, kirsch, and ripe strawberries are present in this medium to full-bodied, distinctive effort. (RP)
