Turley Wine Cellars Description
Turley Rattlesnake Ridge Vineyard Zinfandel is a captivating wine crafted from certified organic estate vines planted at an impressive 2,400 feet on a windswept ridge overlooking the picturesque Napa Valley. Its fragrant bouquet enchants with aromas of herbs de Provence, roasted meats, cracked pepper, and rich dark fruits, setting the stage for a truly memorable tasting experience. On the palate, it surprises with a nimble and lively character, offering layers of complexity and elegance. The wine’s power and texture, hallmarks of Howell Mountain, shine through beautifully. Perfectly paired with grilled lamb, hearty stews, or charcuterie, this Zinfandel is a testament to the art of winemaking and the magic of its high-altitude origins.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Plump and polished yet tightly focused, with generous flavors of black cherry and raspberry accented by orange peel and toasty spices. Builds structure toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2034.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2022 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.
Vinous Media: 92-94 Points
The 2022 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 2022 is going to need time in bottle to come around, but it is both impressive and promising.
