Score 94/100 · Drink 2018-2029, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2016

The 2014 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard is laced with compelling scents of lavender, graphite, menthol, sage and inky blue/purplish fruit. Beams of supporting tannin give the wine its spine. There is no shortage of intensity in this beguiling, hugely appealing Howell Mountain Zinfandel.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2016-2024, Robert Parker, Apr 2016

The 2014 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard (15.9% alcohol) is from another Howell Mountain site where Turley has excelled. Beautiful floral notes intermixed with raspberry, black cherry, spice box and pepper are stunningly rich, long and heady. This is a real beauty, full-bodied, opulent and a total hedonistic and intellectual turn-on. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Score 91-94/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2015

The 2014 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard is intensely mineral and savory in style, with tons of graphite, smoke, black cherry, menthol, lavender and sage pushed forward. The aromatics alone are utterly beguiling, but the firm, insistent tannins suggest it will be at least a few years before the 2014 is ready to offer its finest drinking.
