Winemaker Notes
Planted in 1885, Ueberroth is the oldest of the Turley Zinfandel vineyards. Located closer to the sea than any other site they work with, the smell of salt air reaches the top of the hill. These ungrafted, head-trained vines are planted on very steep limestone slopes. The high pH of the soil makes for a very high acid wine, elevating the ripe fruit flavors from this historic certified organic vineyard.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Even better is the 2012 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard, which may be their oldest Zinfandel vineyard as it was planted in 1885. This cuvee tends to be higher in acidity, but it is also powerful and packed with beautiful black and red fruits intermixed with a hint of crushed chalk. This full Zinfandel has the potential to last over a decade.
Range: 93-95
