Pitch dark in the glass. Very expressive nose with sweet strawberries, raspberries, and vanilla. Great acidity, lots of red fruits on the palate that show depth and maturity but with lots of freshness. Some secondary notes of dried flowers, medium tannins; long and lingering ending with cedar wood and a hint of white pepper. My first Turley - it did not disappoint. This is complex, expressive, and extremely delicious. Petite Syrah is often an overlooked grape, but this wine shows what a good producer can do with it. No rush to drink it.

As solid a bottling of anything I’ve had from Turley’s Hayne releases. Lavender, smoke and concentrated purple grape, viscous and mouth coating with leather and a bit of acid bite on the finish. I’d say prime window.

This was excellent! Still plenty of fruit but it's much more integrated now compared to a few years ago. I typically prefer even more age on my PS but this was drinking really well and smack-dab in the zone. No risk of it falling apart anytime soon - drink now and over the next 5 or so years to appreciate the energy/fruit.
