Turley 2021 Zinfandel Judge Bell, Amador County

As Turley's Amador winery is located on Bell Road, they named this wine for the eponymous (and notorious) Judge Bell, who presided over the nearby town of Plymouth during its Gold Rush heyday. Harking from own-rooted vines planted in 1907, the wine shows quintessential Amador granitic tannins and briary fruits.  The texture is equally enticing, well balanced between ripe fruit and fine-grained tannin.  Ready to drink now or lay it down for a spell at 55°-60°F.
