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
- WA92–94
- Speaking of big Zinfandels, the super 2009 Zinfandel Turley Estate is produced from a tightly-spaced (3 x 6) vineyard near the winery north of St. Helena. It displays lots of briery black raspberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with Provencal herbs, pepper and loamy, earthy soil notes. Full-bodied, rich, layered and multidimensional, this is about as good a 2009 Zinfandel as readers will find. Range: 92-94
- WS90
- Dense and powerful, with smoky black cherry aromas and jammy but well-structured plum, jalapeño and spicy cinnamon flavors wrapped in ripe tannins. Best from 2013 through 2017.
