The 2021 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard, still in barrel, offers pretty aromas of allspice, menthol, tobacco leaves and red cherries. The full-bodied palate is shy and reserved at this stage, with chewy tannins and rounded acidity.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard has slowly opening scents of red and black berries, cinnamon stick and forest floor with spicy undertones and touches of citrus peel. The palate is medium-bodied, restrained and very fresh with a soft frame and long finish.

The Hayne vineyard in St. Helena was planted in 1902. A barrel sample, the 2017 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and very pretty rose petal and violet perfume with warm peach cobbler, blueberry and boysenberry fruit jam, cinnamon stick and warm baking spice. Medium to full-bodied, it's got wonderful peach and tricolor fruit layers in the mouth with loads of spicy accents, ripe, grainy tannins and wonderful juicy acidity, finishing long and layered. This will be bottled in March 2019. 675 cases are expected to be made.

The 2016 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard is spectacular, bursting from the glass with a captivating bouquet in which aromas of rose petals, ripe cherries and wild berries mingle with nuances of spice and coniferous forest floor. Full-bodied, satiny and expansive on the palate, it's multidimensional, succulent and juicy, with amazing weightless intensity, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. To my palate, this wine's singular personality makes it one of the most distinctive produced in California.

Possibly the most famous of all of the Turley Zinfandels, is the 2014 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard from an old head-pruned vineyard (planted in 1902 and 1903) on the back streets of St. Helena near the library. Possibly the quintessential Napa Valley Zinfandel, it is full-bodied, with glorious levels of blue, black and red fruits, floral notes, a full-bodied, seamless, opulent texture and stunning mouthfeel, without a trace of heaviness or heat. It is sensationally rich, beautifully pure, and a classic, world-class wine made from ancient vines that have been translated into a meticulously crafted wine. Drink it over the next decade.
