Delicious. Abundant fruity nose, powerful pleasant well-balanced flavors of earth and blackberry predominate in the taste, and an aftertaste that refreshingly lasts for minutes on end. No history for this cuvee (this 2021 vintage is its year of birth) but should definitely have a long and tasty lifetime in vintages to come.

My prior notes on this cuvee remain the same with one addition. The fruit and spice in the nose jump out in abundance and are even more pronounced then before. Definitely can peg it though as a Turley Zin with Amador County upbringings. For those of you who have the pleasure (honor ??) of having in your cellar this cuvee as well as other Turley Zins from grapes stemming from the various regions that the Turley family has used in their zin development, let me suggest tasting them all in a blind tasting to appreciate the nuances of zinfandel that the Turley family has brought to the forefront.

Not a bad well-balanced, smoothly-drinking Napa Cab for $25 a bottle, especially if you qualify for the Total Wine additional $10 per bottle discount.
