Hmmm. Heminway.... Had better. MUCH better from other vintages.. After opening the nose revealed a tired wine holding on for dear life... Still had body, but the color and flavors were breaking down.. Holding up to the light the outer rim of the wine was losing color while the rest of the glass' color seemed listless... The nose revealed some bramble and fruit but it was almost overtaken by flavors of a wine in freefall..Not sure what happened... BUT, don't lose faith - Turley produces AWESOME wines!!!! This was undoubtedly an anomaly...

Excelllent Zin with good spice and wonderful nose. I found it improved after opening within the first couple hours. Smooth, spicy with good texture. Also good next day - not that there was much left, but a good glass to finish off the bottle.

Briars and herb in the nose, quite dark with a pretty strong sediment. Prune, leather and dark notes with a bit of a drying finish. Drink any time.

Reasonably ripe without pruning, zinberry, cracked pepper, moderate tannins and certain floral notes
