1/5/2024 - CheviotCellar Likes this wine: 93 pointsOpened cork but left wine in bottle for 3 hours in the cellar before trying. Contrasted with the 2019 Marietta blend also from Geyserville. |

2/2/2020 - WetRock wrote: NRThis was very 'ok'. Showed a strong sense of 'Zin' but it just didn't say much else. Dense and structured. Not really closed. Just there. Stayed that way probably at least an hour. A decent wine but clearly you expect something better here. Maybe a decant would have helped. Mysterious.

2014 Turley Zinfandel JuvenileCalifornia more |
6/16/2019 - pgrzesik wrote: 88 pointsNice California zinfandel from Turley here. It is rich, concentrated, and lots of flavor. Not too complex - but can zinfandel be complex?? I have yet to find one that is. I personally do not think this merits its price, it is over priced, and for the money spent it under delivers. Also, too much alcohol on the palate (15.5%), it is overpowering. Once you taste the wine, you get the large gush of fruit up front and then an overwhelming wave of alcohol that just dominates the palate.

2013 Frick Winery CinsautDry Creek Valley more |
10/27/2017 - mxpbuy Likes this wine: 90 pointsA monster wine that is too young to drink and too much to handle. Searing tannins, heavy spice and alcohol comes through. Give it 10 years and it will be beautiful but still loaded with personality.

2/23/2017 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 90 pointsZAP TRADE TASTING, nose of red and black fruit, allspice, and ink, same on the palate, big body, well blended as its seamless, very tasty, this wine ages very well and improves as it ages, long finish.

2/1/2011 - Annie1 wrote: 80 pointsThis wine was lost in my cellar before a friend told me about cellar tracker. Sadly, it was waaay past prime. Very slight scent of plums along with an earthy musty smell....wasn't the cork. Color was toward brownish tint. Little flavor of fruit....maybe a little plum. Smooth finish. We drank it but I was longing for a better wine.

It has definitely mellowed, but that is not a bad thing, and I think it still has life in it for a few more years. Still spicy with lots of plum and chocolate flavors with a touch of nutmeg and a touch of oak. Not a long finish, but the tannins have definitely softened a lot. We enjoyed it.

Nice berry and cherry fruit, moderately interesting midpalate with drying and slightly rough tannins. I give it kudos for being well made and able to withstand the test of time.
