Turley, Dragon Vyd. Howell Mtn. Zinfandel 2005

Red.

Spicy, red fruit nose dominated by balsa wood character. Hint of celery, ketchup and alcohol.

Remarkably similar in the mouth. Plush entry, with edgy acidity framing flavors. Ketchup aspect reminds me of some Spanish Garnachas. Intensely flavored, but, ultimately, a bit lean. I'd drain this soon, with some real food (protein and fat, both from an unlucky animal).


$35?
