Turley, Duarte, Contra Costa County, Zinfandel 2005

Light red.

Great nose - sumptuous and fresh - citrus/cranberry, earth, savory meat.

Round and sweet texturally. Slight heat. Red fruit character start to finish, slightly bumpy in the mid-palate. Better on the nose, but this may gain complexity in the mouth with bottle-age.

Day 3 - Interesting - color is now purple/red. Spearmint now shows on the nose. Round, sweet and creamy with really nice depth of red fruit coulis mid-palate flavors. One of the best Duarte bottlings I've had.
