2004 Turley "Pesenti" Paso Robles Zinfandel

From Paso Robles‰۪ limestone soils, the 2004 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard could pass for a Grenache-based southern Rhone with its striking minerality, pepper and kirsch liqueur-like notes. Full-bodied, but remarkably fresh (thanks to the limestone), it possesses 16+% alcohol, but that component is well-concealed by the wine‰۪s fruit and structure. (RP)
