A very recent addition to Turley’s Amador County single vineyard bottlings, Rinaldi is one of the most significant ancient vineyards in the Sierra Foothills. Known to many historically as the Eschen vineyard, there are still a few remaining vines from the original planting in the 1860’s; the bulk of our block dates from 1910. At 2000 feet of elevation and located in the Fiddletown AVA, the wine is generally more blue-fruited than what you find in nearby Shenandoah Valley.
The 2020 Zinfandel Rinaldi Vineyard is redolent of crushed berry fruit, blood orange, mint, white pepper and star anise. I especially admire the wine's translucent energy and finesse. Pretty floral notes reappear on the finish. This site at 2,000 feet in elevation yields distinctive wines, as is the case here. Give it a few years to soften.
