2016 Turley "Dusi Vineyard" Paso Robles Zinfandel

SKU #1375212 94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The vines that produced the 2016 Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard were planted in 1945 in an ancient creek bed, and their alluvial composition distinguishes them from the other limestone-based sites Turley works within Paso Robles. Wafting from the glass with notes of blackberries, ripe cherries and loamy soil, the wine is full-bodied, velvety and charming, with a deep core of succulent fruit, supple tannins and mouthwatering acids, concluding with a long finish. Of all of Turley's 2016 Zinfandels, this might be the most immediately seductive. (WK) Inner quote mark (9/2018)

90-93 points Vinous

Outer quote mark A classic Paso Robles Zinfandel, the 2016 Dusi Vineyard is bold, powerful and voluptuous. Dark cherry and plum fruit fill out the wine's ample frame effortlessly. Scents of lavender, spice and new leather develop in the glass, adding further character and nuance. Creamy and expansive, the Dusi is a real joy to taste today. (AG) Inner quote mark (3/2018)

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.
