March 31, 2024 - Purchased on release. Was making room in the cellar yesterday and put this in the “Why haven’t I opened this already?” pile. Initial chatter amongst wine geeks online was kind of pedestrian so I was in no rush to open it. Nice dark color, just a hint of bricking. Nose is a touch advanced for the age but what’s interesting is that it doesn’t give me a whole lot of Cabernet Sauvignon. My Wife asked which one of the open wines she should drink and I let her have a sip of mine. I told her it’s a Cab but it doesn’t drink like one. Her response “ Tastes like a Zinfandel”
I showed her who made it and smiled. She was on point. There’s a boysenberry element to this that guides me towards Zin more than Cab. A juiciness reminiscent of Piner/Olivet or more specifically Dolinsek. Medium bodied with a rush of tangy blackberry on the mid-palate, fully integrated tannin and a lingering tart/sweet finish. Not a bad wine by any stretch but as a representation of the variety it fell short. Treating it as a double blind tasting serves it well.1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 18, 2021 - In a wonderful place - up front fruit that Turley is known for has mellowed a bit. Wonderful fruit, smooth finish - drinking very well.

July 2, 2021 - Firm Tannin initially. Let open for about 45 minutes and then settled down. Red fruits, plum and oak. Medium bodied. Not as impressive as their Zinfandels, but a good effort
