2010 Turley Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard- USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles (6/8/2020)
15.8% abv. Medium-dark ruby, extremely aromatic. Black raspberry, blue fruit, cherry highlights, mint and floral. Tremendous depth and length. Power and intensity, but light on its feet. No hint of alcohol. This is the humble Zinfandel grape dancing with the angels! I’ve tasted some great wines this year, this may be the best. Years of life remaining. In my ranking of Zin vineyards, Ueberroth maintains a very special place. (97 pts.)
Day 2 - the wine is still soaring. Turley has access to fruit from some of the greatest historic vineyards in California, all across the state. For me, none packs more magic than Ueberroth. Brian, embrace the “Ueb!”
