Very approachable. Nicely balanced by still tons of flavor. Tannins are relaxed and at 14.9% it's not a bruiser. Think this vintage offered earlier drinking window than for most Turley Petites. This was in a good spot.

This is a baby. We're happy we have another to try in a few years. We'll try to save some of the bottle for tomorrow night to see if it evolves like the review below states and pop the second bottle in five years.

Delightful; slightly less intense than other Turley Petite Syrahs; well-balanced with modest depth of flavor and finish

Cherry and blackberry, nicely balanced with minerality in a thick, viscous wine.
