A Rhone white blend with a streak of Italian from California? Tastes like a winner to me. Roussane, Grenache Blanc and Vermentino from historic vineyards become a wonderfully balanced, fresh and layered wine. White fruits, melon, florals, juicy acidity, minerals and soft edges make it both drinkable and worth holding for a bit. Always a favorite from the Turley line up. — 24 days ago

QPR out the wazoo - really delicious as a wine, but does not speak to Chianti. Mass produced for the crowds, smooth well- balanced and dare I say somewhat elegant: definitely fruit forward with oozing dark brooding berried fruit & cherry galore, vanilla & gentle subtle spice.

Выпито третьим вином в этот же день. 100% это было лишнее. Хотя как супертосканское 2018 года - оно было бесподобно (мое любимое. ) — 10 months ago

White flowers, bouquet of white roses, dandelions, daisies, a light mist of spindrift from the sea, the vapors of lemon trees.

Supple, rich, wonderfully balanced and bracing mineral acidity. Beautiful white blend. — 15 days ago

delicious: butterscotch - really sexy, orchard fruit juxtaposed w/salinity & minerals - full bodied, voluptuous, cellar temp was downright silky leading to long resonant finish. I've had this many times and they were always older & oxidized - would argue these are better younger — 2 months ago

Don’t know if this is representative or not, but it’s definitely not what we were expecting. All sweet and nutty and balsamic but no fresh acidity, which was to be expected, nor anything else that pointed in the direction of a Sangiovese dominated wine. Seems to be in an indian summer kind of phase. Drink up we thinks cause it seems to be going down hill. — a month ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and black fruits on the nose with tobacco, light wood, licorice, chocolates, black pepper, herbs and spices.

Full bodied and soft with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, sweet raspberries, coffee, sweet oak, chocolates, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth and mediterranean spices.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 4 year old Super Tuscan Merlot is drinking very nicely now. Nicely balanced and elegant. Complex and entertaining.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, and balance itself out.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Wine Spectator 94 points.

I had the 2021 vintage a couple of years ago at the winery, and it was much better. The 2022 vintage was not as good as the 2021, so there's that.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

100% Merlot grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

30 mins of air, just opened not decanted.
Very nice indeed though with burgers at home. You can sense the viscosity on the nose, black and blue fruits, licorice and some feral meaty bits in the background.
Drinks exceptionally smoothly, most of the tannins resolved. The viscosity on the palate is balanced by enough acidity to keep it in balance. Black/blue fruits repeat with a hint of chewiness, coating is an understatement. Long finish. Leather and coal tar(?). Interesting that these have such a decently long lifespan. When kept on some ice/water during the meal, it improves as a whole as the temperature drops a few degrees. The thickness recedes a bit and acidity shines up front.
Shame I have no more.
Thanks, puggymonkey &scottiebobettie
