  No hurry. Balanced at this point with tannins just about fully resolved.

  Turley often coaxes lighter flavors and relatively early drinkability out of their Petite Syrahs. This particular bottle, however, was pretty ripe, almost too much so, with cherry-plum, baked notes and dry, dusty tannins extending from a loamy, freshly crushed red grape nose. Just okay and I’d suggest an shortish drinking window. 2010 and 2011 were meh vintages for northern CA zin (Petite Syrah). I’m concentrating on removing these years from my cellar. A wine like this goes to show that all of us raters and the critics are all full of shit when we speculate about 13 years down the road.

  Excellent wine with many more years to go. fine to medium tannin on the finish, which became more obvious over time. Deep dark fruit color and nose, with a good body on the palate. Large amount of sediment in the bottle, which easily filtered out after decanting. I wish I had more of this wine.

  There was a lot of sediment in the bottle. Decanted for 3 hours.

  Deep ink purple, little signs of aging on the rim, refined dark fruit nose, silky tannins and long balanced finish. Can one ask for more? It may be at its peak right now. One bottle left that I can try next year.
