Turley 'Dragon Vineyard' Zinfandel 2021

The Turley 'Dragon Vineyard' is an estate-farmed, certified organic vineyard. Planted at 2250 feet at one of the highest points on Howell Mountain, the vineyard sits well above the fog line and faces east, first to receive the soft morning sun. These important features, along with the rocky, red volcanic soil, make for a unique, full-bodied, powerful Zinfandel. This is often Larry’s favorite example of Zinfandel since it goes with what he most likes to cook: bold, flavorful, spice-laden meats laid over an open fire. There’s a reason Howell Mountain was the first designated sub-AVA in Napa Valley: the wines from this hallowed ridge are the most distinctive in the entire region. Matured for 15 months in a combination of French and American oak before bottling unfined and unfiltered, the Dragon Zinfandel is brimming with savory white pepper, lavender, blackberry, cassis, dried herbs and anise. Signature Howell Mountain tannin and texture provide a cohesive balance in this elegant behemoth.
