Juvenile California Zinfandel 2023

Well, in identifying this, I see Turley has more Zins than I knew about. This one is Juvenile. Get off my lawn, ya damn kids!

@Dave I think Zin and many other wines (looking at you too Southern Rhone reds) lose some balance, complexity, and food-flexibility at that level and beyond, frequently in the pursuit of higher scores from quick-sipping critics who need to be “wowed” in 15 seconds or less.

Dogtown Vineyard Zinfandel 2023

A little ethyl acetate, residual sugar, tastes like it may have stuck during fermentation. I still drank it though lol — 2 months ago

Cedarman Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2012

This wine was an absolute beast, it's more like 16.5 abv but was still in control you could taste fruit, had deeper notes but balanced. Not my style but a glass will make me happy. — 4 months ago

Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel

My note on a previous bottle was only “excellent” and, now, a few years later in March 2026, I’d say the same, perhaps with an exclamation point. A huge boysenberry nose leaps from the glass, followed by a silky and jammy wine loaded with strawberry compote, minerality and a beautiful funkiness. Tons of depth. One of the best of Turley’s flagship offering and so far my top wine of the year. — 9 days ago

The White Coat California Grenache Blanc Blend 2023

Big nose of yellow fruit preserves and alcohol freshness, with notes of brûlée and vanilla weaved within. Medium bodied and golden hued, this is such a refined wine at such a young age, with a zippy acidic energy and flavors of overripe yellow fruits, oranges. and a loooong lingering finish. — 19 days ago

Library Vineyard Petite Syrah 2012

Smells like it’s a brand new young wine with wild and fragrant fruit.

But at first sip you get the age and depth of the wine that has the fruit hiding beneath some good structure.

Good stuff.
