The 1996 Zinfandel Grist Vineyard, which emerges from Dry Creek, tips the scales at a blockbuster 16.3% alcohol. This wine offers lusty levels of lavishly jammy black cherry fruit intermixed with raspberries, pepper, earth, and spice. Wow, what an astonishing level of pleasure this huge, massive Zin provides! It is a wine to drink over the next 5-8 years. Turley Cellars' 1996s are remarkable wines, and readers will be thrilled to know there are some intriguing new offerings.
