2022 Turley Pesenti Vineyard Paso Robles Zinfandel
Winery Notes- This certified organic estate-owned vineyard was planted in the 1920s on ancient marine calcareous soils. Though the vines are head-trained and dry-farmed, the soil plays the most important role in distinguishing this vineyard on the west side of Paso Robles. The wines have a brightness, with chalk and floral characteristic aromas unique to the site, and to Zinfandel in general.$49.901 -
2022 Turley Juvenile California Zinfandel
Winery Notes- Hailing from over two dozen vineyards across our beautiful Golden State, the Turley Juvenile is more of a clear bellwether for a vintage than any other wine we make. Fragrant, lifted aromas of ripe dark fruits like black raspberry and blood orange on the nose. Superb balance between acidity, tannin, and spice, with a succulent, profoundly satisfying texture.$24.9024+ -
2022 Turley Del Barba Contra Costa County Zinfandel
Winery Notes- Hailing from head-trained vines planted in the deep dehli blow sands of Contra Costa. Vibrant and dazzling on the nose, with plum, blood orange, lively spice, and mouthwatering smoked meats. The texture is a knockout: super smooth, silky and supple, with excellent acidity. Utterly enthralling, and a wine we want to revisit repeatedly.$34.9012 -

Organically farmed head-trained vines planted at 1500’ in the Sierra Nevada Foothills in granite & quartz. Aromas of red florals and fruits, orange zest, nutmeg, and petrichor, with a red pepper kick to the spicy finish. Very well integrated palate with characteristic yet resolved mountain tannins, reminiscent of a nuanced young Barbaresco.$39.904 -

2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Old Vine California Zinfandel
Winery Notes- Every vintage we get the fun challenge of putting together a wine that we feel really shows off what old vine Zinfandel can achieve in California by focusing on the strengths of the vintage. In the process, we endeavor to make something that is one of the better values in the wine world from truly old vines (average vine age is over 80). In 2022, one of the main challenges was how to balance the deep fruit weight, richness, and ripeness that some lots possessed due to a big heat wave in early September. Fortunately, we were well-equipped for this challenge given the diversity of sources we work with, along with having some other varieties that have traditionally been blended with Zinfandel for this very reason. This year’s rendition is 76% Zinfandel, 11% Carignan, 5% Petite Sirah, 4% Grenache and 3% Cinsault, with the remainder being assorted mixed varieties such as Mourvèdre, Negrette and more. Though a blend of over a dozen ranches, the majority comes from Teldeschi, Evanghelho, Katushas, Nervo, Sodini, Beeson, Bedrock, Old Hill, and Papera. We are extremely pleased with the resulting wine—one that shows off freshness, wonderful fruit tones, spice, and pepper laden perfume built around a core of flat-out delicious fruit character. This one should be a great crowd-pleaser.$23.9011 -
2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Katushas' Vineyard Lodi Zinfandel
Winery Notes- I am so proud of our estate vineyard in eastern Lodi. Since we purchased it in 2014, Katushas’ has made enormous strides in quality commensurate with the tender care that we have put into repairing the vine structure, the soils, and the biological diversity that grows within it. In the late Spring, Merced Rye cover crops approach 8’ tall, dwarfing the vines around it. That same rye is then crimped to the ground, creating a thick mulch that crowds out the murderer’s row of Lodi weeds, shades the soil from the hot Lodi sun and helps preserve water in the soil. The vines have responded beautifully, looking healthy and balanced even in the face of the last few years of crippling drought. The result of all of this is a wonderfully fresh and balanced version of Zinfandel—accessible early due to the sandy soils and natural character of the area but fresh and retaining acidity thanks to healthy vines and the cool afternoon breeze that pushes up from the Sacramento River delta and across the oxbow created by the Mokelumne River. Aged in foudre and large format barrels, the 2022 Katushas’ saw minimal new oak to place the focus squarely on the beautiful nectarine scented plummy fruit.$39.9012
