Turley

Buck Cobb Vineyard Zinfandel 2020

Softest Turley I think I’ve ever had, you’d never perceive the 15% ABV. Lots of dark mushed fruit, some cedar, a little rose petal and a hint of mint. The finish is so soft with very little tannin. Paired with a bone-in Ribeye, maybe a little under-matches (the steak!). — 3 days ago

Sandlands

Amador County Chenin Blanc 2020

Yellow, slightly golden, excellent clarity. Sun-dried linen aroma (though less than in previous vintages). Dried apricot and lemon peel flavors. Tart on initial pour, softens somewhat with decanting. Some calcium or mineral character on finish. Pair with food, like Rosti potatoes and grilled veggies like we did. — 3 months ago

Bone-Jolly El Dorado County Gamay Noir 2019

This one disappeared quickly. Fruity and floral aromas on the nose introduced the bright red berry flavors on the palate. Cranberry, raspberry, pomegranate. This almost had the sensation of having cherry-flavored Pop Rocks in my mouth given its slight effervescence. 100% Gamay. 12/22/22. — 8 months ago
