Turley “Contra Costa County” Zinfandel

Posted on August 20, 2008 by pcook

While on my latest trip to Illinois, I took Kenny up to Chicago to see the town. We ate at Gibsons which was beyond awesome… The way a restaurant should be!
The wine list was extensive and I searched out the best deal on the menu. It was a 2006 Turley for $70.

I rejoiced and ordered it quickly. When the wine came out I was amazed at the color which was almost rust like an old wine would show. However this wine was young. The initial taste was very balanced and showed promise… I rejoiced again!

Wow! This wine is amazing! Berry fruit with blue hues… Very structured and very well balanced. Not too spicy perfect for a nice steak which I am about to have. Almost a dust element although I would probably say the terrior is coming through nicely.

Find it. Get it. Drink it.
