  Garnet in color. Raspberry and blueberry jam on the nose with a touch of warm earth. A slightly sweet, jammy palate of raspberry and cherry. Tasty and fun. Drinking well.

  Very lush ripe fruit backed by some earthiness. This seems fully ready and is quite delicious.

  Inky core, garnet edges, blue and black fruit on the nose, sort of like a blueberry reduction in color and smell, with a hint of garrigue. Blackberry, rhubarb, strawberry, tons of white pepper and sage and garrigue on the palette, pepper and touch of alcohol heat in the silky, finish. Tannins are finely integrated, and have a chalky smoothness and minerality, with a sweet tart like sweetness and acidity. I think I may save the last bottle to see if the alcohol subsides but this is pretty amazing as it is.

  My last bottle 😞......Right from the pnp it's classic Pesenti and drinks as expected over 2 hours of air. To me this is THE best and purest example of Cali zin made today. Just the right fruit profile blended with the right spicebox/pepper and acid profile. One big glass left in the bottle under a Repour stopper in the fridge overnight and enjoyed it with the leftover pizza this afternoon. No degradation overnight. This is always my fav vineyard from Turley and just continues to produce year in and year out.

  2 years since my last tasting. Holding up wonderfully. Tannins have continued to smooth out, while the fruit is even more well blended. Drinking really well.
