3/7/2010 - jsokel Likes this wine: 90 pointsBig and bold, starts off as a major fruit bomb, but calms down after an hour and is very nice and enjoyable. Picked it up for $21/bottle, great value for the quality. |

2006 Turley Zinfandel DuarteContra Costa County more |
12/24/2009 - jsokel wrote: 91 pointsThis wine completely changes over an hour. Sipping it right after opening, it is very harsh, good, but harsh, almost a tobacco flavor. Over the next hour it calms down and becomes a lot more balanced an smooth. Although it was good all the way through. |
