The finished blend is 85% Zinfandel with 7% Carignan, 4% Cinsault and bits and bobs of Grand Noir, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and other field-blended varieties. As usual, the average vine age is around 80 years old, making a truly an “old vine” cuvee. Our goal for this wine is always to make a Zinfandel that reflects what we love most about in California: to showcase great fruit but also spice, energy and freshness.

With fully 29 different bottlings, Zinfandel (often complemented by small amounts of other co-planted varieties, such as Carignan and Grenache) is the standard-bearer here, though Turley also does a fantastic job with other varieties, most obviously Petite Syrah. Given how distinctive each of the single-vineyard bottlings is, it's tempting to suggest (though some will no doubt think it heretical) that Zinfandel might be the variety best adapted to expressing \"terroir\" in California.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turley Wine Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41996209586258,"sku":"7443200802898","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/files\/turley_12_kirschenmann_zin_70770038-13f2-4b05-aea5-5084ecce5059.jpg?v=1771365233"},{"product_id":"carlisle-2022-papera-ranch-zinfandel-russian-river-valley","title":"Carlisle 2022 Papera Ranch Zinfandel, Russian River Valley","description":"\u003cp class=\"producer-note-content\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e        \u003cbr\u003eLimited new Zinfandel from Carlisle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: \u003c\/b\u003e\"A youthful magenta\/purple-tinged color, the Carlisle 2022 Zinfandel Papera Ranch reveals more high-toned aromas of cinnamon, juicy fresh mixed berry fruit, and fresh pine.

So, most of the vines used by Mike and Kendall Officer were planted from 1888 to 1934.

While many old-vine vineyards contain plenty of mixed black varieties, most of the blocks at Papera Ranch are 95+% Zinfandel. One block, however, does contain a significant amount of Carignan with a sprinkling of Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Valdiguié.
