Turley Zinfandel Lodi Kirschenmann Vineyard 2020

Producer notes: “The Kirschenmann is close to our hearts as our winemaker, Tegan Passalacqua, owns and farms this vineyard. The ungrafted vines were planted in 1915 in the silica-rich sandy soils of the east side of the Mokelumne River AVA. Thanks to the river’s cool waters and delta breezes, these head-trained, dry-farmed vines are constantly protected from the heat. In the grand tradition of old-vine field blends, the vineyard has small amounts of Mondeuse, Cinsault, and Carignane. Tasting Notes: Wild strawberries warmed in the sun, anise, mint, spice, fennel, roast herb-crusted lamb, and a hint of raspberry liqueur. Lay it down for a few or decant to enjoy sooner!”
