Score 90+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2004

Bright ruby-red. Powerfully peppery aromas of raspberry, cherry and licorice. Densely packed and chewy, with its strong peppery element giving it a markedly drier impression than most of the other 2002 Turley zins. Very uncompromising, steely wine that's not yet expressing itself.

A new offering, the 2002 Zinfandel Dragon emerges from a Howell Mountain Vineyard. It is a 325-case cuvee that came in at 16.2% alcohol. With a deep ruby/purple color as well as exotic aromas of blue and black fruits intermixed with white flowers and ground pepper, this distinct, rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated Zinfandel admirably combines power with elegance. NOTE: This is an estimated price per bottle. Tel. (707) 963-0940; Fax (707) 963-8683
