Critic tasting note: "Rich and plush on the nose, with hints of chocolate, plum and spice. It fans out on the palate to reveal a complex web of spicy black cherry, cola, coffee, blackberry, anise and chocolate flavors, all couched in supple, smooth tannins and finishing long on the palate." - Wine Enthusiast

About the Producer:

Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by former emergency room physician Larry Turley in 1993. Under the direction of winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley now makes 50 different wines from over 50 vineyards across California, primarily Zinfandel and Petite Syrah, with many vines dating back to the late 1800s. By farming organically and focusing on old vine vineyards of these varieties, Turley aims to both create and preserve California’s unique winemaking culture. Christina Turley, Larry's daughter is now Vice President.
