Might be the best cab I’ve ever had. Why doesn’t Turley make more cab? Only one I’ve ever seen and been hanging on to it for ~8yrs. Flawless in every way. Blew the Scarecrow that came up next out of the water. — a month ago
Pink/orange color with long legs and a deep hue, this is a very mature rose. Fresh ripe strawberries with the green leaves still attached, hints of orange rind and raspberry jam, with a touch of hibiscus and rose water deeper down. Medium bodied, silky texture, with deep flavors that ultra ripe red fruits, with cognac like richness, hints of blood orange, maybe some grapefruit, roses, not much acidity, and a finish that has a slightly alcohol freshness, not bad, just bigger than you’d expect from your typical rose. — 2 months ago
Built from 25 vineyards in nine counties, the Turley Juvenile is a summation of California Zinfandel in a single bottling. The ‘22, released this spring (‘24) is an excellent example, with bright berries and soft florals layered over darker fruits and a wonderfully smooth texture. Highly drinkable now and for the next several years. Let’s hope it stays one of the great bargains in California wine. — 2 months ago

Deep ruby in color; black plum, blackberries, and strawberries on the nose; medium acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes just like it smells with some crushed gravel and a long finish. — a day ago
