dark fruit, wood and a previous comment of bramble also fits. Has a sourness in the finish that is slightly distracting. Let it open up or decant.

Initially it is little fruit and all raspy bramble. After an hour or more, a bit of red fruit appears, along with the raspy bramble and metallic notes on the finish. Markedly below average compared to the other Turley zins I've had in this vintage.

Drink very well at the moment. Nice zin flavors, still a big wine but went great with pizza.

Better on day 1. Tobacco and spice box influences. A pleasant zin for this style.

This drank pretty good. Something mid palate I could not identify though. With food this totally shut down.

Very deep berry, let it open up to develop complexity.

Agree with most reviews that this is typical high abv Turley Zin in many respects. The aromatics show raisin and cherry cough syrup. However, the palate is marked by aggressive tannins that I’ve found in many of the 2020 smoke tainted wines in CA. Drinkable, yes, enjoyable, no. Steer clear of this vintage from this producer if you’re sensitive to smoke taint.

I thought this would need more bottle time but no! Pleasant zin fruit on day 1 and 2. Drink inside next 5 years

This was blinded on me again (also in July) by my brother. I immediately identified this as Zinfandel and settled on Amador County, 2021 vintage, high quality - $30 price point. Nice guess! This showed better than the bottle in July - not sure if was a better bottle, or the additional age, or maybe a palate difference. I think it says something that this was identified as Zin by multiple tasters and all thought it to be high quality …

Fresh fruit forward focusing on red fruits. Cherry and strawberry Cola. Slight tart finish. Decanted 30 Minutes. One of the lower priced single vineyard Turleys in mid 30’. Would buy again. Good bony great

15.6% abv. Brought by my brother to a blind family Zinfandel tasting. This was typical Turley for me, in the over-ripe realm with a little roasted note, noticeable supporting oak, and high alcohol. Good for the style, but I found the alcohol spike stood out and was a little distracting. I would have figured this to be the highlight of the tasting, but nobody was really enthused with it.

I’m finding that the 2020 Turley Zins need a decant prior to serving. Very tight and monolithic straight out of the bottle, this offering was a very different wine after two hours in the decanter. Dark cocoa, lush blackberries, spice and hillside herbs. Drink now to 2026. Worth Seeking Out.

Very lovely zin bursting with fresh berry fruit. Not at all over the top high alcohol fruit bomb but a lively wine, a real pleasure to drink on a Friday night on its own. Excellent value in the Turley lineup.

On the nose- Dark cherries, dark blueberries, ripe raspberries, fresh plums, fresh blueberries, cassis, baking spice, wild herbs, leather, tobacco, boysenberry pie, wild flowers On the palate- Dark cherries and dark blueberries, ripe raspberries and fresh plums, fresh blueberries and cassis, baking spice and wild herbs, leather and tobacco, boysenberry pie and wild flowers on the finish. This wine is big and rich but has nice balance and structure. This wine is drinking KILLER now but needs a few more …

Mellowing out with cellar time, but also becoming more balanced and expressive. Still a lot of fruit, but elements of earth becoming more pronounced.

From a morning tasting at the Amador location (sparse note). warm, rich fig and cherry fruit. Filaments of mineral run through to a dark chocolate finish. Some spice and herb.

On the lighter side of the Zin profile. Blue and red fruits, light tannins, enjoyable and easy to drink.

Interesting zinfandel. We pnp'd at lunch. The nose was all fruit. The palate was berries, cherry, bramble and wood. The finish was moderate to long.

Decanted and got interrupted, so the decant lasted 4 hours. Herbal and fruity, even a touch sour. Well made, but perhaps not my cup of tea (or zin).

Beautiful wine. Equally in the color. in the nose, in the taste, and in the after taste. Solid Turley spices and dark fruits. Four bottles to go.

Solid zin with sweet notes. Fruits balanced with mouth watering acidy and tannins. Great solo and with Italian foods. Improved after 2hrs in decanter

Night-1, after a couple-hour glass decant; burgundy/maroon. Bramble, burning bush, manzanita dust, and Zin things on the bouquet; this is medium+ bodied and still showing fresh and young on the palate. It seems to be more herbal and herb driven (even with some green elements) than many of the other Turley Zins I recently tasted of this vintage. The alcohol is more than reasonably balanced with the herb and tangy, sometimes sour red fruits. Black currant and salty mineral veins …
