I tasted seven cuvées of 2013 Zinfandel from Napa. The 2013 Zinfandel Heminway Vineyard comes from the high-elevation Vaca Mountains in northeastern Napa. Located at the end of Howell Mountain, just north of Pritchard Hill, at an elevation of 1700 feet, the grapes come from vines planted in 1915 and grown in mineral-laced sandy soils. Blueberry and blackberry fruit dominate this dense ruby/purple-colored wine, which has one of the more saturated colors of the 2013s. Full-bodied, rich, pure, intense, exuberant and lusty, this beauty combines both power and elegance into a multi-dimensional, world-class, dry red wine that just happens to be made from 100% Zinfandel. Drink it over the next decade.
Probably no one in Northern California has done more for the renaissance and resurrection of old vine Zinfandel than Larry Turley. He started Turley Cellars after selling most of his interest in Frog’s Leap Winery to his original partner, John Williams. The Turley Cellars project was founded in 1993, and is now over 20 years of age. The great thing about Larry Turley is that he’s quick to admit he’s never met an old vine he’s not fond of. As a result, they farm and buy fruit from 35 different vineyards, with some of them dating back to the late 1800s, long before Prohibition. There are at least 30-plus separate wines, and some super-talented winemakers have worked for Turley – first Ehren Jordan and more recently Tegan Passalacqua. I have praised these wines from the beginning and, to my surprise, older vintages of 10 to 15 years – much older than I generally recommend drinking Zinfandel – have aged remarkably well. While Turley’s Petite Syrahs are probably 50-year wines, most of the Zinfandels are best drunk for their exuberant and robust fruit and personality in their first 8-10 years of life.
