Turley, Pesenti Vineyard, Zinfandel, Paso Robles 2021

“The 2021 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard is elegant and expressive this vintage, with singular botanical nuances that give it a lot of personality. Its aromas open significantly as it spends time in the glass, from a core of red cherry jam to wafts of fernet, wildflowers and tea leaves. The palate is soft, supple and energetic, with detailed, nuanced fruit and an ethereal, layered finish. What a pleasure to drink!”-96WA
