Turley - Moore "Earthquake" Vineyard Zinfandel 2008 (750ml) Beerenauslese The first taste knocks me

The first taste knocks me off my feet

Scents of warm apple pastry rise from the glass with touches of honey and toasted oak

All of the Pinot noir was picked in a two-week window beginning on 9/26 with continued pleasant temperatures and no rain

It's the same grape as the extinct Ribadavia variety from Galicia

the main focus is the better reflection of the terroir in the fruit through organic viticulture

Turley - Moore "Earthquake" Vineyard Zinfandel 2008 (750ml) Beerenauslese The first taste knocks meCRITICAL 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)
