Was a little nutty to start, but settled in nicely with black licorice and concentrated dark fruit. You can tell it's high octane without looking at the percentage, which is 15.7, if you're scoring at home.

Very nice. Youthful with some spice and energy but refined and sophisticated. Alcohol didn't overwhelm which is always a concern of mine with Turley. Drank along side the 2008 Turley Zinfandel Tofanelli Vineyard. Grist had more character and seemed younger. The Tofanelli was softer and syrah-like.

Well made wine w plenty of dark fruit, pepper, and heat. Doesn't taste old to me, but I'm sure the fruit was more vibrant earlier in its life.

Nice rustic qualities that drank well with the food. Slight hint of bricked strawberries, otherwise a typical zin.
