Turley “Buck” Cobb Vineyard Zinfandel – 2022 (750ml)

Description

Winemaker’s Notes:

Planted at 1500 feet on the volcanic, granitic hillside near our property in Amador, the Cobb Vineyard Zinfandel is an homage to Buck Cobb from whom we purchased the vineyard and the Karly property in Amador. We even added a little bi-plane symbol to the label to commemorate Bucks time as an aerobatic pilot! The rocky conditions and more extreme weather (including snow) in this dry-farmed vineyard make for a hearty, robust Zinfandel.

Organically farmed head-trained vines planted at 1500 in the granite and quartz soils of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Primarily savory and red-fruited, with characteristics of black pepper, dried meats and fine-grained tannin texture. This would be an excellent pairing with wood-fired pizza!
