This held up really nicely. Definitely time to drink but still very tasty. This wine had mellowed (not hot at all) but still loaded with fruit and flavor. Enjoyed with grilled steak with a peppery rub. Even my wife, who doesn't always share my enthusiasm for big zins, enjoyed this and we easily killed the bottle.

Jammy fruit and cedar on the nose, which is somewhat muted. Some fruit on the palate, but it's pretty one-dimensional. Smooth, but rather short finish. Dogtown is one of my favorite Turleys, but this one's best days are behind it.

Great bottle of wine. Big and fruit forward. Dark fruits, cocoa, coffee with medium finish.

I really enjoyed this bottle! Seemed on the young side of the equation, but nothing I can do as it is my last of this vintage!

Sinfully good earthy Zin with a slightly vegetal character when first opened that became luscious over an hour.
