TURLEY WINE CELLARS
Turley has been producing big, lush Zinfandels from old vines throughout California since 1993. The winery employs natural winemaking techniques that encourage the intensely concentrated grapes to reveal their true character. The resulting wines are deep in color, intense in flavor and full-bodied. Determined to build around single-vineyard Zinfandel as well as Petite Syrah, Larry Turley secured grapes for his first vintage from three Napa sites: Hayne Vineyard, Moore Earthquake Vineyard, and Aida Vineyard. Turley's wines are stylistically specific and leave little room for ambiguity. Many consider the rich and concentrated reds the standard while others find them a bit over-the-top. There is a long waiting list to buy the wines with intensely loyal customers known to have composed poems and named pets in their honor. Napa Valley was only the starting point for Turley; today, Napa bottlings represent just half the production. Old vines are the key to Turley's success. Their grapes can make the type of wines that Turley loves - remarkable intensity and layered concentration. They also often have distinctive mineral character and lively acidity, which keep flavors focused even at advanced ripeness.
