Turley Wine Cellars Description
Turley Wine Cellars’ Rattlesnake Ridge Vineyard Zinfandel offers an enticing fragrance of herbs de Provence, roasted meats, cracked pepper, and dark fruits. On the palate, it’s surprisingly nimble and lithe, countering its bold nose with a lively texture. With the signature power and depth of Howell Mountain, this wine is rich and layered, offering an exciting balance of complexity and elegance. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats, hearty stews, or roasted vegetables, it’s a wine that elevates any meal with its vibrant character.

The Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge is a tense, moving target on the nose, traversing myriad aromas of fresh herbs, ripe stone fruits, coconut flakes, meaty dark fruits, aniseed and subtle reduction before settling itself. The palate is medium to full-bodied but relatively restrained and elegant, coming across as lighter on its feet than the nose would suggest. The finish combines soft, fine but grainy tannins with well-rounded, balanced acidity and a long, perfumed finish. Cleary in need of unwinding and further integration, I look forward to checking back on this wine in 3-5 years and over the following decade.

The Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge is dark, somber and mysterious. Inky dark fruit, licorice, lavender, cured meats and grilled herbs abound. There's plenty of mountain tannin, but also enough fruit to keep things in check. The is going to need time in bottle to come around, but it is both impressive and promising.
