92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(15.9% alcohol; from a vineyard planted in 1907): Captivating, complex perfume of musky raspberry, coffee, sage and wild herbs; communicates an impression of garrigue (this vineyard is actually surrounded by open land). At once dense and juicy, with lovely purity and a high pitch to its briary red berry, herb and spice flavors. Strong acidity accentuates the impression of dryness. Finishes juicy, tight and complex, with firm dusty tannins. A rather Old World style, and with considerable potential for improvement in bottle. (May/Jun 2014)"

91.7 points CellarTracker community score.

90-92 points Robert Parker: "Both the 2012 Zinfandel Duarte and 2012 Zinfandel Salvador are deep and richly fruity with the Salvador seemingly more intense than the open-knit, loamy, peppery, spicy Duarte. (Dec 2013)"

91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Vibrant, punchy flavors are the signatures in the 2012 Zinfandel Salvador Vineyard. Beams of underlying salinity give the wine much of its energy and tension. There is a lot to like in this feminine, perfumed Zinfandel from Turley. (Dec 2014)"
