Dark purple color but maybe a twinge lighter in color than the Pesenti. Sugar plums, blueberries, and milk chocolate on the nose. Massive tannins and tons of fruit, this wine is packed with flavor. Full-bodied it coats the mouth and the finish is quite long. Amazing wine, this one can stand the test of time, and probably should. Used the Coravin on this for a small taste. Will lay it down in the cellar for a bit along with its twin. — 4 years ago
Black jammy fruit, sweet cedar, a bit of grip on the finish.
The head to head Turley terroir challenge is a push. Great wines! — a year ago
Excellent balanced lively Zin with great texture and acidic complex palate and long finish. A nice surprise and a great value Acker. — 6 years ago
Bit of a let down after a Turley Pesenti. Flabby. Over ripe. — 10 years ago

Really tasty Grenache. Very fruit forward, with pomegranate, some rose, very slight peppery notes and maybe even a little eucalyptus on the back end. The palate has prominent notes of fresh plum and vanilla, pineapple juice and other citrus, medium body and paired well with chorizo and eggs with onion and hot sauce. Whew! — 2 months ago
