Brava! Excited for this new btg pour @Laura Brennan — 9 years ago

Wow! Amazing wine! You won't miss the barrel on this beauty. As the fruit tannins are omnipresent. Spicy with red currant and caperberry playing alongside gooseberry, blackberry and boisenberry seamlessly. Your first thought is grape-y, but that would be an abecedarian conclusion. This is wine with depth, unlike pretenders in unoaked territory, and entirely satisfying in every sense! Brava! Abrigado! — 10 years ago

I have to say, it is not what I expected from Turley, or even a Petite Sirah. Very elegant, not too much on a jammy side, and brighter red fruits to the mid pallet.. not as dark, spicy, and chocolatey rich as most.
Smoke, cherry, cedar, wildflower, vanilla all I'm the nose. The pallet was pretty balanced, exhibiting notes of black raspberry, Bing cherry, cloves, mocha (not too rich on the cocoa), and a smooth, slightly thin finish. Had a little more Syrah to the feel of it, but I will say maybe my faith in Turley wines has been renewed, ever so slightly. Brava, Mrs. Turley! — 8 years ago

I've gotta hand it to Chuck's daughter on this vintage and say that she is becoming a great wine maker! It's funny, I preferred the Merlot over the Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. As a matter of fact, they both tasted quite similar to one another, but the Merlot had a one up on papa's wine; that one up was TANNIN STRUCTURE.
It had that similar raisin like nose, but showed some herb spice notes and nutmeg, with a core of sugar coated strawberry and ripe cherries. In the glass, the liquid was dark ruby with an intense purple hue, and long legs. The pallet exhibited notes of stewed black and red fruits, vanilla, clove, dark chocolate, and finished with finesse and lingered with an ever so charismatic bite.
In conclusion, I feel as if the Emmolo Merlot for the $50 is much more adequately priced than some of the Caymus family wines, and had a fantastic tannic structure, with acidity to accompany it. It wasn't AS sweet of a red as the Cab, so I will call it WOTN.
Brava Jenny Wagner!

Very classy, great expression of Valdeorras Godello. Tons of vibrancy and super wide range of fruit flavors from lime all the way to pears but never overtly fruity. Allows the taster to investigate each flavor at will. Better than 99% of the Chardonnays I've tried. Brava! — 10 years ago
