Turley, Dogtown Vineyard Zinfandel 1997 OWC Larmandier’s prestige cuvee is produced1. 0cm or less 91 points Wine Advocate The 1997 Zinfandel Dogtown (15. 3% alcohol) is from a 65 year old vineyard situated on the border of Amador. Its dark ruby purple garnet color is followed by copious quantities of briery, berry fruit intermixed with loamy soil, underbrush, and spicy notes. Full bodied and chewy, with excellent ripeness, this tasty, fleshy, full throttle Zinfandel should drink well for 5 7 years. (6 1999) 90 points Int'l Wine
