Zinfandel: "Displaying an elegant, Pinot Noir-like style, the 2004 Zinfandel Mead Ranch Atlas Peak exhibits a plum/raspberry/cherry-like character reminiscent of a Pinot Noir from Burgundy�s Cote de Beaune. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, and pure, it should be consumed over the next 3-4 years." RP

- I taste a bit of cedar in this wine. It's a robust zin that isn't overly sweet. This is one of my favorite bottles.

- ($35; 15.9% alcohol; Turley has taken over the farming of the vines in his block of this vineyard) Bright ruby. Quite primary on the nose, with a pronounced rocky character to the cool blackberry and mint aromas. Juicy and densely packed, with impressive concentration and breadth. Roasted raspberry and chocolate flavors are still a bit youthfully unevolved, and the wine's substantial building tannins argue for a year or so of patience.
