I do not think there is any reason to hold this one any longer.

Delicious as usual. This one had a little more heft to it than I remember previous releases. Not quite as acidic and crisp, but a pleasure to drink. This one is 70% Syrah, 19% Grenache, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon.

I have limited experience with real champagne and I have to say that this rosé as well as the blanc de blanc from Thienot are probably the best I have tasted.

If you can get it, you won't be disappointed. Delicious just like the Kinero whites.

Delicious. PnP. Ate with Frittata. In a good place now, not sure it will get any better with time.

Jesus, Anthony really knows how to make an excellent white. No surprises and delicious.

Damn that was good. PnP. This one is ready to go.

Really enjoyed this one. Drank with Mexican food.

This one was absolutely phenomenal tonight. Tasting about the best I can ever remember. Did nothing special, just pulled cork and drank.

So good right now. It's too bad the original vineyard is gone due to the CA fires. The is the last Turley Zin from Mead Ranch. No reason to hold in my opinion.

4/20/2022 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

Satisfying as usual.

Very good, spicy zin and drank over 4 days using repour. This worked well.

3/23/2022 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

First taste was right out of cellar and wine seemed kind of tight. I thought it was much improved on day 2.

Tasting well. Not as good as the Ueberroth. I suggest PnP on this one. Seemed to lose flavor during the course of the evening sitting in a decanter. Best taste was the first.

1/17/2022 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

Had this one after having a Turley pesenti zin the previous day. This one was clearly better. Quick double decant. Delicious!

Not sure about this one. It's OK, but not the usual problem child I am used to which is a PnP. I got some fizziness and high alcohol whiff after opening. This one may need to wait year longer. Even after resting a day, it still was not up to par in my opinion.

12/15/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

This one was delicious. Classic Turley juvenile at its best. Unlike my review from a year and half ago, this one is PnP.

Might be in a closed phase right now as I thought it was not tasting as good as bottles I've tried earlier. Curious if anyone else had a similar experience lately.

Ready to go. just pull the cork and drink it.

Lovely wine. Better on day two so probably could have used a little air on day one.

8/2/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

Yep. That's right. You should've bought some of this last week.

Give it a few months, I think it will be better.

5/15/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

Tasting great! Improved over an hour or two. I would say this is ready to go.

Disappointed in this one. Usually one of my faves. I should have paid attention to my previous note and waited longer to see what would happen with a little more age. 2nd day was definitely not better, so drink it up once opened.

4/5/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

If you have this, I would drink it now. It is really tasting great right now and did not need a long decant.

3/22/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

This is a strange wine. Tons of strawberry on the nose and in the taste - almost like a fruit punch. Had a slight bit of that french funk too. Drank 1/2 the bottle on night one because my guests really did not go for this one as it was too far outside the "normal" wine experience. I drank the rest of the bottle on day two and can say it did not get any better. So, if you want an unusual wine, give this a try, but steer clear if you want a traditional flavor profile.

Drinking great right now. Just needed a little air and time to open up.

I think this one tasted better on day two as it seemed a little tight on day one.

This one tasted great straight from the bottle after pulling cork. It tasted so good that I thought to myself "This is why I buy this wine". Unfortunately after about an hour the alcohol took over and the flavors became muted and I was disappointed I didn't drink the wine quickly enough. 15.8% ABV so maybe not surprising.

1/6/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

Always delicious. You'll never get a bad white wine from Kinero.

Better on first night. By day two not much going on.

This one was effervescent upon opening. Drank about a quarter of the bottle and then the rest on night two. When I pulled the cork on day two it popped like a champagne cork. In the end, I thought second night was better than first. Nothing wrong with the wine, but it pales in comparison to the Linne Calodo first label.

Ok, for a $10 wine from Gross Out, what can I say. Surprisingly drinkable. Nothing wrong, nothing special. Cork was a little tough to get out in one piece.

12/14/2020 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

Very good over the course of a few hours. Nice range of classic zin characteristics. By day two there was not much to say.

12/9/2020 - losososjoe Likes this wine:

Very good. Would buy again. Nicely balanced and nuanced.

Typical decent zin from Turley. Opened up after a hour or so. Drank over two days, no problem.

Really liked this one. Drank over three days with just the cork in the bottle. Held up just fine. Better than the Montafi from the same vintage.
