The Winery
Turley Wine Cellars
Larry Turley founded Turley Wine Cellars project in 1993 with a desire and love for old vine Zinfandel. As a former emergency room physician, he jokes that he resuscitates these old vines in producing beautiful and intense wines. Pairing up with winemaker, Tegan Passalacqua they have an assortment of Napa and Central Coast Vineyards producing mostly Zinfandel, Petite Syrah and a little bit of Cabernet Sauvignons.
Robert M. Parker Jr. has called Larry Turley “the world’s premier Zinfandel specialist…he built Turley Wine Cellars into a showcase for the fruit, power and intensity of Zinfandel.” Production is extremely low, so getting your hands on these phenomenal bottles could be tough, but we have quite the selection!
Tasting Notes
- WA91–93+
- Although pinched with screeching tannins, the backward, unevolved 2005 Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge will repay those who have the foresight to lay it away for 10-15 years. It is loaded with potential, but is nearly impenetrable at present. Range: 91-93+?
