Turley 2024 Zinfandel Rose

Tasting Notes

Turley’s 2024 Zinfandel Rosé is a vivid, dry expression crafted from Zinfandel picked early for freshness, showing a pale rose‑petal hue and an aromatic profile that blends wild strawberries, fraise du bois, juicy watermelon, and delicate floral notes, with subtle hints of petrichor and crème‑fraîche–like creaminess on the nose. On the palate, the wine is bright, high in acidity, low in alcohol, and thoroughly refreshing, offering flavors of red berries, watermelon, mint, and crisp apple, all carried by a smooth yet energetic texture that finishes clean and mouthwatering. Fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly in used French barriques, it maintains purity, lift, and a distinctly Californian character despite its Provençal inspiration.

For food pairings, the wine’s lively acidity and delicate fruit make it a natural match for fresh, vibrant dishes. Crudo, ceviche, and lightly dressed seafood highlight its brightness, while charcuterie, soft cheeses, and stone‑fruit salads complement its red‑berry and watermelon notes. It also pairs beautifully with summer fare such as grilled vegetables, herb‑roasted chicken, or Mediterranean mezze, and its refreshing profile makes it ideal for warm‑weather picnics or garden lunches.
