  Likely held this one a tad past its prime. Still, a great wine with a strong finish. Tart cherries, blackberries. In its prime, 92 or 93.

  Decanted. Showing moderate fine sediment in bottle.
  Color is still saturated and glass staining with dark ruby hues.
  Aromas show a foresty edge of damp earth, cedar forest, bramble bush, Spanish moss and eucalyptus scents to the notes of cherry filling, cassis, sunburnt strawberry and nuances of devil's food cake, dried rose and a potpourri quality with hints of anise and pink peppercorn that come with a touch of warmth from the abv.
  The palate shows sun-kissed strawberry notes with Kirch and cassis, week-old red vines, bramble, anise, smoke, floral pastilles, dense chocolate cake, earth and hints of pink peppercorn. The finish packs a punch with the full weight of the abv. Balance between the juicy acidity and drying woodsy tannins play out.

  PnP and drank over 3 hours. Opaque ruby black. Started as light-bodied for a Turley, but actually got heavier after a few hours; now medium. Evolved throughout the time. 3 hours in, I’m getting blackberries, anise, plums and tart cheries, with Midestern spices. At first it was lean, tart cranberry and tart cherry. Roller coaster in between. Great wine.

  Lovely, 95 points, spice, fresh-shaved wood, teak, the right balance of acidity and tannins. Full bodied, everything you look for in a refined Zinfandel. Opens and develops continually from opening, improving with each inhale and wave of this work of art over the taste buds. Deep velvet Red, fabulous nose, Thank you to Turley's team and winemaker! 10 years strong and capable of another 10, but gorgeous now!
