  Nose is briar and wild black berry. This wine is still punching. Good balance liking the acidity.

  I’ve never had this particular vineyard before; glad I tried it. Delicious classic Zin, good red and black fruit, spice, relaxed tannins, no heat despite 15.3% ABV. Paired beautifully with grilled pork chops with blueberry jalapeño sauce. Have been on a roll with 2012 Turleys lately after mixed results with slightly older ones.

  Opened and poured. Initially light bodied, light ruby to clear. Swirls of reds abound - strawberry, red cherries, raspberries. On the palate - more reds - nice attack and acids. This is the first zin from this vineyard and it's quite an interesting story to read. With air gained some heft and traction, getting darker and heavier with air. The blacks and pepper starting to join the party.

  Pleasant surprise. Bold on the front, pepper and spice in the middle, with lingering finish. Fabulous alone. Even better paired with stuffed jalapeños followed by lamb
