Very dry and does have sour notes, but still has a smooth finish. Notes of cherry.

Every time I open a Turley I'm amazed again. Never has Zin been elevated to such a refined and pure level. So happy to have copious amounts in the cellar - only downside is with so many different vineyards I only have 2-3 of each vintage. But damn this is good - high toned and silky at the same time.

Smart alternative to a port when looking for more sweet-sour notes, less sugar and more tannins. Aromatically still very fresh and not hot at all

Light floral and earth driven aromas. Dark red fruit attack with soft mid palate followed by briny, but impressive crescendo. Good overall length.

Smooth, with little tannins and plenty of fruit and acid to last quite a bit longer.
