An ok wine, but given the price point and the fact that it’s a Napa valley Cabernet I was pretty disappointed. Not bad but not anything special. I don’t see any upside in cellaring this any longer as it’s just not getting any better

On the decline but still drinking well. I have one more bottle that I would say should be drank relatively soon.

2016 Turley Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

Napa Valley more

7/5/2023 - Jeppy Likes this wine: 90 points

This wine has evolved in a most positive way since my last bottle several years ago. At last tasting it was a drinkable wine but had few outstanding qualities. At this point it has a good mouthfeel and a well rounded, smooth flavor profile.

2020 Copia The Cure

Paso Robles Syrah Blend, Syrah more

5/13/2023 - Jeppy Likes this wine: 88 points

I had high hopes for this wine based on many complimentary reviews online, but similar to my initial tasting at the tasting room it’s not a wine that really rocks me.
I bought several bottles at the tasting just because, and I just revisited the wine again.
While I feel the wine had a good balance, it was overall a bit thin and tart. I decanted for two hours prior to drinking and the wine did round out a bit after another hour it simply didn’t have the rich mouthfeel that I expect from wines of this caliber.

A good solid wine, but given the price I have many other bottles that are better and 2/3rds the price.

2019 Top Winery Grenache Precession

Paso Robles more

12/11/2022 - Jeppy Likes this wine: 93 points

Decanted 1.5 hours ahead of first tasting. As expected this wine was opened several years ahead of when it should, but being new to Top we wanted to get a glimpse into the future
Well balanced with a big style for Grenache. The wine evolved over dinner and was really smooth and delicious by the last sip 4 hours after opening.

Suggest that this be cellared until +/-2025 and beyond for optimal performance.

Updated tasting note after having several bottles of this gifted wine. I believe that the initial taste reaction may have been due to travel shock as the subsequent bottles have been good.

Opened 2 hours prior to a “meet the winemaker” Zoom call. Really young at this point but I did not have anything older in the cellar. The To2D’s was awesome and rounded out throughout the 1 hour call. I would certainly cellar this for 2-3 more years it is awesome.
