Winemaker Notes
Certified organic, planted 1937 at about 1000 ft. up Moon Mountain. Currants, cassis, blue fruits, earthy spices, graphite; if you didn’t know better you’d think this was mountain Cabernet! Silky dark fruits, minerality, long and lifted, rustic yet graceful on the palate.

94 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2022 Zinfandel Fredericks Vineyard is medium to deep ruby in the glass. It opens slowly but steadily with multifaceted aromas of peach skin, dried red berries, dark spices, wafts of cooling botanicals and a lifted, vibrant floral perfume. The full-bodied palate is suave, concentrated and polished, hiding rustic but gentle tannins and seamless, mineral-tinged acidity with its long, perfumed finish. As with much of the 2022 Turley Zinfandels, this should unwind and come into itself after 3-5 years in bottle and provide more than a decade of enjoyment in the cellar.

94 Vinous
The 2022 Zinfandel Fredericks Vineyard is a rich, heady wine. Dark fruit, leather, tobacco, dried herbs and cured meats are all dialed up. Ample and resonant, with tons of brooding power, the 2022 shows off the more virile side of Zinfandel to great effect.
