Maybe I needed a year, or maybe this bottle was stored better, but we liked this a lot, especially compared to the bottle drunk a year ago. Keenly balanced big fruit, high alcohol, high acid fruit bomb with lots of spice, earth, tobacco.

I thought it was good, but lacked some of the layered complexity of some of the other single vineyard Turley’s. Just big fruit and big acidity, almost too much acidity.

The last of the single vineyard Turleys in my cellar. My taste has morphed toward wines with more finesse and subtlety as opposed to those with high alcohol, upfront fruit, and concentration such as the Turley style. Full bodied and jammy and somewhat hot (15.9 ABV), it is a fun cocktail wine but less of a food wine. Somewhat in balance, but could use more acidity. Peppery and fruity, lots of blackberry and raspberry jam. My Zinfandel preference is a Ridge Lytton or Geyserville with 5-10 years of bottle age. Cheers!

Don’t remember much, but down the middle of typical Turley. Great weeknight drinking.
