The best Turley white Zin yet. Prior ones were a bit muddling, this was was crisp, delineated and just the right flavor profile and texture. I have been drinking Bandol Rosé all summer and loved this different, super dry style.

Flat and nearly flavorless, nothing crisp nor even all that fruity. Not at all unpleasant , but nothing I would return to & not something I’d expect of Turkey

On day one this is a decent rose, but it's better on day two. But this is a rose, and you don't usually want to wait until day two for your rose to reach its potential.

I agree with most of what has been said so far. First of all, it needs to breathe for at least 30 minutes. Very acidic and tart straight out of the bottle. Surprisingly so. After it calms down, definite watermelon and general citrus notes. Not what I was expecting or looking for when I opened, but definitely grew on me. Paired well with Grilled Siracha Salmon with Avocado Pineapple Salsa on the Traeger.

Almost startlingly acidic, this very dry rose offers watermelon and white strawberry fruit. Best with food--we had lightly fried rockfish, and it cut the light oiliness of the fish.

Reiterating my notes from 2 months ago. The wine is interesting for all of its neautral flavors and aromatics. Not sure I can improve on my earlier notes from May. Nothing here to be excited about.

Bright almost fluorescent pink Light watermelon nose Sharp savory more lean citrus peel flavors with a saline finish; I and my guests were taken aback a bit compared with recent years which seemed a bit more generous. More serious a wine, for whatever it’s worth, one of the few times we had wine left in a Turley bottle at the end of the night. A nice example, but certainly not an easy wine; more of a wine to exclaim, “Wow, this is impressive” because you’re not quite sure what to make of it.

Quite the Zin Rose! This ranks right up there with my other favourite - Pedroncelli. And it's even the same price. The rare excellent value from Turley. Very pink, watermelon (one sip was pure watermellon Jolly Rancher), bracing acidity, and a proper rose for food. It was bordering on too sharply acidic on its own after dinner. Never thought I'd say that about a Turley wine!

Watermelon rind in color. Mouth-puckering acidity, medium weight, watermelon rind with a sprinkle of salt. Summer in a bottle. Sourced from the winery.

Turley always seems to wine the cali rose' bake offs. Fullest flavor, sweet and sour.

Not a lot of flavor initially. On second day, more fruit, but I expected more from Turley

Recent TNs capture the wine perfectly. Tasty, acidic, and perfect for summer.

Like no other rose or Turley I have ever tasted. Watery, with the slightest hint of strawberry.

How do I start? This wine has lieterally ..... no nose, no aromatics aside for some mild and distant strawberry .... maybe... ?
In mouth the wine is watery and more like watered down wine with mild at best fruit. I get some strawberry, some kiwi, and some apple.
