Turley - Zinfandel Lodi Dogtown Vineyard 1997 (750ml)
Turley Description
Planted in 1944, the Dogtown Vineyard is farmed by Turley Wine Cellars. This head-trained, own-rooted vineyard is technically within the Clements Hills AVA, which has more topography than the rest of Lodi. The rolling hills are composed of clay & volcanic soils, and vine yields are extremely low. The wine is characterized by dark red fruit flavors, spice & black tea.
Vinous: 90+ Points
Medium ruby, less saturated than the above. Darker aromas of cassis, black raspberry, blackberry, pepper and gunflint. Cooler and rather tightly wrapped in the mouth; a nicely delineated wine with a sizable structure. Finishes firm and long, with youthfully tough tannins. Much fresher than the above sample from Lodi.
