  August 27, 2014 - I generally love Turley wines and purchase a lot. I tried this at a restaurant and noted that I had never heard of it. I thought it would be a Zin, but it tasted like a Beaujolais. Anyways, I didn't enjoy it much. I'll stick to their Zins.

  September 16, 2013 - add it to the short list of turley wines i don't enjoy. tastes like a Beaujolais, which is fine but i'd rather just drink a Beaujolais than expect to have a bit of complexity and depth and be disappointed. had at a restaurant but should have known better. will stick to the bigger/high-powered turleys even if it means paying a bit more for them

  September 14, 2013 - Initially acid,light, but opens soon to match nose of coffee and chocolate, nice fruit. Really nice! Drank at the girl and fig with Mary and Francine

  July 16, 2013 - Medium-light ruby color. Nice nose of cherries, plums, earth, a bit of wood. Soft and user-friendly on the palate, as the fruit flavors lead ahead of some mushroomy earthiness. Finishes quickly with just a bit of grip. This is a very easy-drinking bottle, not very serious but poised and well-made. ABV is a last-century 13.5%. Worth drinking.

  May 12, 2013 - An unusual wine from Turley, tasting like a hypothetical blend of Beaujolais Nouveau and Beaujolais Cru.....but created in America from a grape that isn't grown in Burgundy. Fruity, a little earth, with no real tannin and a tapering finish, this bottling is a quaffer and no more, and appropriately priced as such for $18 at a local retailer. Tastes like fruit from very young vines, but that's not the case...this vineyard was first planted in 1886.
