Turley’s 2018 Napa Valley Petite Syrah is nearly black in the glass and has a plum and fig jam nose. It leads with dark fruit flavors balanced by graphite, a touch of oak and some smooth tannins. No sign of the 15% alcohol. It brightened over time in the glass. UPDATE 7/24: still a great intro to PS that is remarkably accessible young. It now offers some perfume on the nose and more reserved fruit.
