Consistent with my noes of a motnh ago, this wine has alot of minerality, and is not a typical Turley to me. I enjoy this wine on its own but not on the level of some zins. It lacks the spicyness i have come to expect from a Zin. OTOH, it has a minerality and integration that is pleasant to drink, just pair it accordingly.

Drank well, not nearly at the end of it drinking window that CT suggests. Not a typical mouth explosion that Turley's tend to give, but a lot of minerality thatintergrate witht he fruit nicely. BT said the nose was typical Turley, I am not sure it was as strong a I would expect. It seemed to me that Turley handle this vineyard a little differently than some others I have had recently and the results are most noticeable. Good wine, no rush to get too. If you have more than one go ahead a pop one this weekend.

Great fruit, I don't think this will get much better. Just a lovely mouth full.

Great cherry and berry mix here; touch of stemminess in a medium body with more tart cherry in the finish. Very good spine to this.

I thought this was okay, still plenty of VA not to like, common in many Turley's.
