  Bought 6 of these when visiting the winery in June. This is quite a buy @ $10. This bottle was especially good with spicey fruit and a great finish. Lighter in the glass than most zins.

  -- tasted non-blind --
  
  NOSE: This wine hints at Turley's "house aroma" with a healthy wash of baked raspberries and good measure of baking spices; the fun stops there....the NOSE also smells a bit green and candied, or confectionary, and kind of like new plastic. V/A seems to be present.
  
  BODY: clear; magenta-garnet color of medium-light depth; medium-light bodied.
  
  TASTE: Raisins and baking spices. A bit too acidic and alcoholic. Weak rear palate. Decent with food.
  
  B: 50, 5, 8, 13, 5 = 81
