Scents of warm apple pastry rise from the glass with touches of honey and toasted oak
the wines exhibit terrific purity of character with excellent tannin resolution
over the years it tends to release other descriptors associated with smoky notes
The first taste knocks me off my feet
the main focus is the better reflection of the terroir in the fruit through organic viticulture
Turley - Moore "Earthquake" Vineyard Zinfandel 2008 (750ml) Beerenauslese Scents of warm apple pastryCRITICAL ACCLAIM 94 97 points Wine Advocate One of the old classics, Turleys 2008 Zinfandel Moore Earthquake Vineyard (made from extremely old vines) it exhibits southern Rhone like characteristics of roasted peppers, licorice, lavender, crushed rocks, kirsch, and other black fruits. With excellent intensity, richness, and full body, it is another example of this sensationally strong, impressive vintage for Turley Wine Cellars. (RP)
