Black cherry, plum, licorice, spice, menthol are all pushed forward in this succulent, expressive old vine Zinfandel from Turley. Floral and spiced notes add a gorgeous aromatic upper register to balance things out in a wine that captures all the sheer appeal of the 2016 vintage. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2018)

Full bodied Zin with black cherry, fig, prune, black plum, slightly raisiny. Fruity with some dustiness.

Virtual tasting/happy hour with great friends. Some of whom live just minutes away 🤦🏻‍♂️ looking forward to seeing friends again soon. The 🍷 was delicious, the old vines always brings a nice tinge of spice. Spring delivery arrived today so better make room!

Very smooth and balanced with high alc present. But nice flavors of blueberry and black cherry

Fruity, soft, easy to drink but complex with tobacco leaf and smoke.

Exceptionally well balanced sun that carries a beautiful, fruity, rich nose and slides into a smooth, fruit forward taste with hints of white pepper and cherries. This is a great wine to share and goes with almost anything. Nothing obtuse in this wine so easy pairing or a nice drop on its own!! 2016

Plum, black cherries, blackberries in the nose with some licorice. On the palate, smooth in texture, black cherries comes through as well as an oaky vanilla flavor on the mid palate. Soft bite of dryness and a nice finish. Will definitely have this in stock as my go to zin.
