Turley 'Kirschenmann Vineyard' Zinfandel 2022

Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by former emergency room physician Larry Turley in 1993. Under the direction of winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley now makes 50 different wines from over 50 vineyards across California, primarily Zinfandel and Petite Syrah, with many vines dating back to the late 1800s. By farming organically and focusing on old vine vineyards of these varieties, Turley aims to both create and preserve California’s unique winemaking culture.

Aromatically this wine is heavily perfumed with a combination of bright red fruits such as cherries as well as crunchy stone fruits such as white peaches. On the palate there is a balancing acidity with notes of blood oranges, velvety tannins, and a chalky finish.
