Turley Wine Cellars 'Pesenti Vineyard' Paso Robles Zinfandel 2022

Certified organic vines planted in the 1920s in white mineral-rich
rocky soils. An outright exuberant nose of ripe red raspberry, fruit
leather, and high-toned spice. Bright and energetic on the palate
with pure, sweet red fruits and holiday spices. A long, almost old-
world Pinot note on the finish, the Pesenti is always a standout in
the spring lineup.

Medium ruby in the glass, the 2022 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard is refined and pure on the nose, leading with varietally classic aromas of yellow peach, wild red berry jam, touches of woodsmoke and tomato leaves and a mix of earth-driven, evergreen aromas. The palate clearly shows its warm-climate origins with its rich, concentrated, explosively perfumed red fruit flavors. It admirably retains precision despite this massive frame and is lined with fine-grained, generous tannins. The finish is led by peachy, fruit-driven perfume with just enough tangy acidity to prop up the long, juicy finish that calls you back to the glass.
