Turley

Seemed a little tight on the nose and probably something to age a few years. Hot baked rocks on the nose and minimal fruit. More perfume notes and more subtle than I would have guessed. Rock, smoke and flowers.

Dense and peppery with a lot of mocha and blackberry. Like it a lot, but I have had Turleys that I like better.

As always this vineyard is one of my favorite Turleys out there, look forward to trying the petite Syrah from this vintage

Tasted sorta flat. Wonder if the Coravin let the good juice go bad since first tapping the bottle.

Nice earthy and bold Zin to pair with late night cooking of rice pudding for Mother's Day. Love that you can taste the Howell mountain in it
