International Wine Cellar | Rating: 90
(15.6% alcohol): Good bright, dark red. Slightly muted aromas of raspberry, coffee and bitter chocolate. Sweet, soft and broad, but not as pungent or gripping as the Grist. Has good richness but with softer, more open-knit tannins arguing for early drinking. Not as obviously 2011 in style as most of the other wines here.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2013

Making "big reds" has been Larry Turley's passion since giving up his co-ownership of Frog's Leap Winery in 1993. Turley Wine Cellars is run by Larry and his wife Suzanne. Larry's sister, winemaker Helen Turley, made the wines here until 1995. Now the honor goes to Ehren Jordan, who also makes wines for Neyers. With a focus on producing old-vine Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, Turley sources fruit from vineyards some of which date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Both the Zinfandels and Petite Sirahs have a dark, saturated, inky color, with intense fruit flavors that make unforgettable statements about the power and complexity these varieties may attain.
