Rating:  96

Approximate Price:  $50

Cutting:  Our first place wine is a magnificent effort with complex smoky black cherry, blackberry, vanilla, spice, licorice and lather characteristics.

 

The Turley Mead Ranch Zinfandel from Atlas Peak is a nearly unanimous selection as our top ranked wine in the Napa Valley tasting.  It shows complex smoky black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and spice aromas.  The smoky black fruit characteristics continue on the palate where they are joined by licorice, leather and spice flavors and a finish that goes on forever.  This is a fantastic wine that everyone should enjoy.
