2002 Turley Zinfandel Mead Ranch - USA, California, Napa Valley, Atlas Peak (6/14/2010)
Color beginning to brick with a light red center. Nose is a bit muted. Some bramble weed, white pepper,coffee, plum and stewed cherry. Usually I get floral notes on the nose, but this wine is showing some rose pedals at the mid palate. Tannins are soft, maybe a little too soft as the wine is a bit past peak but very enjoyable. Fruit is far from dead and has a nice finish. Don't discount old Turleys!
