Tasting notes
The 2017 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard has really shut down after bottling and is very hard to taste at this stage. I imagine all it needs is time.

The Pesenti vineyard was planted in the 1920s on limestone soils. Deep ruby in color, the 2017 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard gives savory notes of charcuterie over dried brambly fruits and crushed black cherries with hints of dried soil. Medium to full-bodied, it offers savory-laced fruits in the mouth with soft, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long with pretty dried flowers notes. 2,400 cases produced.
Turley's 2017 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard offers plenty of the exuberance that is typical of Paso Robles wines. Dark red/purplish fruit, chocolate, rose petal and lavender flesh out in this supple, incredibly inviting Zinfandel. The 2017 finishes with notable substance and depth to round things out.
