The 2022 Turley Wine Cellars Kirschenmann Vineyard Zinfandel is a red wine produced by Turley Cellars in the Lodi appellation of California’s Central Valley. This Zinfandel, which features an alcohol content of 15.6%, is bottled with a cork closure.

Vinous reviewed the 2022 vintage, describing it as a wine that "screams with varietal character." The review highlights the wine's sweet red cherry fruit, Kirsch, cedar, new leather, and pipe tobacco notes. The reviewer noted the 2022 vintage possesses "a bit more richness and mid-palate resonance than has been the norm," awarding it a score of 93 points.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also rated this wine with a score of 93+ points. The review provides a detailed history of the vineyard, noting it has been owned by winemaker Tegan Passalacqua since 2012 and was planted in 1915 on white sand soils over limestone bedrock. The reviewer describes the wine as opening with a slight reduction, which evolves into aromas of ripe wild berries, dried orange peel, potpourri, and tea leaves after significant aeration. The palate is described as medium-bodied, plump, and generous, leading to an "elegant, sweet-fruited and floral finish" that builds in amplitude over time. The review suggests that the wine should benefit from 2-3 years of aging to reach its full potential. Additionally, this Zinfandel includes small amounts of Mondeuse Noire, Carignan, and Cinsault.

Both reviews commend the 2022 Turley Wine Cellars Kirschenmann Vineyard Zinfandel for its complexity and depth, with Robert Parker's Wine Advocate particularly noting its evolution with aeration and potential for aging. This Zinfandel offers a rich and textured experience, making it a noteworthy choice for enthusiasts of the varietal.
