Turley Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard Howell Mountain 2023

Turley Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard Howell Mountain 2023

Powerfully deep on the nose and equally profound on the palate. Heaps of spice, blood orange and dark purple fruits, white pepper and savory mountain herbs. Smooth, refined, and precise mountain tannins.

Critical Acclaim

93 Wine Spectator

Ripe and energetic without being bombastic, this Zin serves up potent flavors of blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate that finish with big, brooding tannins. Best from 2026 through 2033.

92 Vinous

The 2023 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard is a seriously forbidding wine with tons of mountain structure, acid and tannin. Unyielding and imposing, the Dragon is searing in its intensity. Red fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper all race across the palate, supported by incisive, pointy tannins. Iron, white flowers and slate lend notable tension through the finish.
