A delicious classic Turley zin that held up well. Lots of dark fruit -cherry, blackberry. Age has smoothed any rough edges; not hot despite the 15.7% ABV.

Opened with chicken fried rice. A bit tart and sour....a little tired. Lacking the classic zin brambleberry elements we look for in every zin. OK, but meh. Can you tone down the ABV and amp up the classic zin flavors and brambleberries??? Think mid-90s zins...the best had that.....where did they go?

age has transformed this wine. Every rough and powerful edge now is smooth. There is a hint of fig to moderate the strong cherry. Lots of depth and smoothness.

Drink now. Still good with dark fruit coming through, but finish has hints of starting to turn

Decent flavor, but very one note and surprising alcohol
