| | | One of California’s most iconic labels, especially when discussing Zinfandel, Turley is, I believe, the quintessential California Zin!
“Turley Wine Cellars is known as a leading producer of Zinfandel. It also works extensively with Petite Sirah. Turley's style embraces the full-bodied, robust, and fruit-dominant potential of Zinfandel when grown in Californian heat. The approach has been to bring the fruit to full physiological ripeness which can lead to high alcohol levels – in hot years some of Turley's wines have been as high as 18 percent alcohol! Indecently, the 2023 ‘Pesenti’ is only 15.6%.
Established in 1993 by Larry Turley, one of the founders of Frog's Leap Winery in Rutherford, Turley sold his shares in Frog's Leap to begin his venture of Turley Wine Cellars with the help of his sister Helen Turley, a notable Californian wine consultant and winemaker. Helen acted as winemaker until 1995 when she went back to consulting and Ehren Jordan assumed the winemaking role. Jordan left Turley in 2013 when the position was taken by his protégé, Tegan Passalacqua.
The estate makes around 30 wines from 35 different vineyards, split roughly in half between estate-owned land and long-term leases. The focus has been on reviving old vines. Some of the vineyards are more than 100 years old, including the Hayne and Ueberroth vineyards, planted in 1902 and 1885 respectively.”

Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and cloves blast across the palate. A wine of substance and forward, luscious fruit, the 2023 is alluring from start to finish.” 92-94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2024 |
