Still very drinkable, properly cellared. Better than I expected.

more of a curiousity than a good cab

Popped and poured. Dark ruby in the glass. First aroma is dust, but maybe it's Rutherford dust because it opens up after half an hour into a joyfully juicy and fruity charmer with cassis, black cherry, cocoa and a bit of clove on the palate. Very fine tannins, long slightly sweet finish. It's a Thursday wine, but I enjoy Thursdays. Maybe not for long keeping but who knows? Very nice QPR at $18.

This surprised me. Had low expectations given previous tastings, community score and drinking window. But really nice drinking over three nights under pump, with middle of the fairway flavors, no tannic impact but excellent balance. No reason to wait, but nice weeknight wine.

Bought this bottle on release back in 2012/2013. This was magnificent with some long notes on the finish. Really great bottle and wish I had more.

Massive amounts of sediment. Smells like a fruit bomb (blueberry, blackberry), but tastes like sadness (like a sad blueberry juice). Turley is good at other things.

As good as it’s been with cool, mellow berry and mild tannic impact. Never a value. Drink any time.

I’m having a tough time sorting this one. I think it just needs to be decanted to come together. Nose was off putting on opening but has smoothed out. Bright cherry candy dominates the finish. At great peril, it reminds me of a Double Diamond Bomber X that I had years ago. Very different profile from when I first tried this.

About as good as this has been, ashy, blueberry, smooth tannins and still some acidity to make it interesting. But drink now I think.

A lot of fruit up front with a soft finish. Not aging any, so drink up.

Splash decanted for 15 minutes and drank over next 2 hours. Not very exciting. Fruity with a little spice. Nothing complex. More like an OK Zin than a great Cab.

Rather simplistic with straightforward cassis and blue fruit notes, moderate tannins and meh.

Similar currant/cocoa/earth notes to my last bottle, the light structural elements have completely integrated. Drink now. Five years after my first bottle, eight years after the vintage, my last bottle and overall a completely average and overpriced Napa cab.

Ici une belle découverte, turley est bien connu pour ses zinfandel, mais j'avais hâte d'essayer ce C-S. Je ne suis pas vraiment un adepte des C-S de Napa valley parfois trop lourd, mais celui-ci est très bien fait. En tête de liste, les fruits rouges confits (cerise noir et bleuet). La barrique a raisonnablement transféré quelques notes de chocolat noir. Les tannins sont fondus et bien intégrés. Encore bien en chair, il faut carafer au moins 2h. Mon autre bouteille …

Really nice and balanced. Dark fruit with a nice finish. Drinking really smoothly now.

A bit rough around the edges, but there's plenty going on to make it interesting. Fruit forward but some darker elements as well (minerality, leather) which suggest this will improve with time. Not hugely tannic but enough so that I think I'll let bottle #2 sit for quite a while before giving it another go.

Opened alongside a '99 Solengo for contrast. Lost some of the jam and baby fat, but offering up a thick, dark fruit profile that's round and chubby. Some slight secondary maturity notes showing, such as licorice and leather. With more air, blue fruits predominate, with iron, blueberry and tangy orange notes. Definitely mature, and should be imbibed soon.

Continues to be a moderate Cabernet with nothing to recommend the $40 price tag.

More complex spice and earth notes are appearing as the overly sweet ripe red fruits are fading

Muted and stunted, only slight better day 2. I'm drinking these soon and I've avoided new releases. Not a good value.

Not a thinker, pleasant enough and easy to drink but it won't be winning any awards or causing you to think much and definitely overpriced.

Good, balanced, middle of the road cab, drinking at a good place right now. Nothing special, and may be overpriced at $40, but pleasant enough drinking.
