2007 Turley "Ueberroth" Paso Robles Zinfandel

SKU #1053478 94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Outer quote mark 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) Inner quote mark (6/2009)

90-92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark 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) Inner quote mark (12/2008)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Zinfandel

- The bid to name Zinfandel California's "State Varietal" may have failed, but this red wine grape, grown extensively in California since the mid-1800s, is grown in few other places in the world. Sadly, much of what's cultivated today is planted where it's too hot and flat. But when planted to well-drained, hillside vineyards that are warm but not too hot, like those in Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley and Amador County in the Sierra Foothills, Zinfandel can produce wines with plenty of character. High in natural alcohol and tannin, grown carefully it can be rich and complex, with dark fruit berry fruit and peppery spice. The most known example of Zinfandel outside of California is Italy's Primitivo, which can be similar in style, but is often a bit lighter and less alcoholic than West Coast examples.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Paso Robles

- Located about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this inland AVA enjoys a sunny and hot growing period while its seaside neighbors hang in the fog. Zinfandel is the traditional red grape of choice, though cabernet, chardonnay, and Rhône varietals are gaining favor. Most are made in a fruit-forward, early drinking style.

Alcohol Content (%):

16.2
