Organic vineyard planted in the 1920s (during Prohibition but you could get good prices for fruit at that time) on mainly limestone soil. 880 ft. TA 6.8 g/l. Head trained and dry farmed. West side of Paso Robles. 9-10 miles from the ocean. 12 in of rain a year. All in the winter. I absolutely loved this wine. Fabulously fruity nose. Spice and pepper and juicy and the alcohol doesn't show. That hint of orange too. Refined tannins, remarkably elegant and very persistent. Almost a Pinot nose with fragrant red fruit. Complex and so unexpectedly refined. I expected a bruiser and found elegance. Another Zin revelation. As Turley's own description says: 'The wines have a lightness and aromas unique to the site, with crushed-mineral and floral characteristics not normally seen in Zinfandel. (JH)
