Wild Red Berries, Citrus Zest, and Century-Old Sonoma Mountain Elegance

The 2023 Turley "Zampatti Vineyard" Sonoma County Zinfandel is a remarkably fragrant, elegant, and historic single-vineyard red wine. Sourced from a tiny, 2.5-acre organically farmed site planted in 1915 on the cool slopes of Sonoma Mountain, it showcases a lighter-bodied, higher-toned expression of Zinfandel. Vibrant aromas of wild raspberries, red cherries, crushed rose petals, blood orange peel, and white pepper unfold on a medium-bodied, silky palate framed by fine-grained tannins and energetic natural acidity.

Terroir & Winemaking

  • The Historic Zampatti Vineyard: Tucked away on a steep, 2.5-acre parcel on the lower slopes of Sonoma Mountain, this jewel-box vineyard was planted in 1915 by Italian immigrant Al Zampatti. The combination of cool ocean breezes, dry-farmed old vines, and iron-rich volcanic soils produces a distinctive Zinfandel famous for its high-toned aromatics and exceptional structural elegance.
  • Artisanal Turley Preservation: Farmed organically and vinified by Turley Wine Cellars using wild yeasts and minimal intervention. Aging in low-impact neutral wood preserves the delicate red berry purity, floral lift, and refreshing acidity that make Zampatti one of the most distinctive single-vineyard bottlings in the Turley portfolio.

Highlights

  • 100% Zinfandel sourced from century-old dry-farmed vines planted in 1915 on Sonoma Mountain.
  • A radiant 2023 release packed with wild raspberries, blood orange, floral rose petals, and subtle white pepper spice.
  • Crafted by Turley Wine Cellars, offering a cool-climate, highly elegant expression of old-vine California Zinfandel.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Luminous ruby-red core with brilliant crimson highlights at the rim.
  • Nose: Perfumed, lifted, and aromatic. It opens with bright notes of wild red raspberries, tart cranberries, and red cherries, layered with blood orange peel, dried rose petals, white pepper, and subtle forest floor.
  • Palate: Dry, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully silky. The entry brings a vibrant wave of crunchy red fruit sap that glides across fine-grained, supple tannins, supported by fresh acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C to highlight its bright floral aromatics and red fruit freshness.
  • Decanting: A short 20-to-30 minute decant helps open its fragrant perfume. Best enjoyed over the next 8 to 12 years.
  • Western Pairing: Roast duck breast, pan-seared pork chops with cherry sauce, grilled rack of lamb, or wild mushroom risotto.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck, Cantonese roast duck, Char Siu (barbecue pork), or Taiwanese braised pork.
