Founded in 1893 by former emergency room physician Larry Turley, Turley Wine Cellars has spent decades acting as America’s premier champion of heritage Zinfandel. Unlike single-vineyard bottlings, \"Cedarman\" is a masterfully executed, proprietary mountain blend that captures the dense, wild, and intensely structured personality of high-altitude viticulture, making it an absolute must-have for serious collectors of bold California reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe profound structural depth of the 2015 vintage is born from two of Turley's most legendary, certified-organic estate vineyards sitting high above the Napa fog line: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"168\"\u003eRattlesnake Ridge\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"190\"\u003eDragon Vineyard\u003c\/b\u003e. Grown at elevations reaching up to 2,200 feet in shallow, volcanic white-ash and red-clay soils, the low-yielding vines produce small berries with incredibly thick skins. To anchor the wine's immense mountain energy, master winemaker Tegan Passalacqua seamlessly integrates a small percentage of ancient \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"511\"\u003ePetite Sirah\u003c\/b\u003e from the Rattlesnake plot into the primary Zinfandel base.
