1995 Turley Black Sears - 94 Pts!
The 1995 Zinfandel Black-Sears Vineyard which has a northeasterly orientation on Howell Mountain weighs in at 16.1% alcohol. Harvested on November 15 because of the vineyard's cool climate elevation of 2400 feet this is a fabulously rich full-bodied powerful Zinfandel. The deep saturated purple color and gorgeous fragrant nose of black-raspberries pepper and spice are suggestive of a top vintage of Pomerol from Bordeaux's right bank. This wine is enormously rich full-bodied super-concentrated with a creamy texture and layers of glycerin-imbued rich fruit. Its seductive power makes it one of the most hedonistic dry full-bodied Zinfandels I have ever drunk. It should continue to drink well for at least a decade but who has the discipline to squirrel away a few bottles for that long? The 1995 Zinfandels are the products of extraordinary vineyards and genius winemaking - no doubt about it. RP
