This was drinking really well. Smooth and savory all the way through the finish. Blueberry, raisins, and baking spice. Nicely balanced.

Sandlands

Contra Costa County Carignane 2014

This wine should only come in magnum. A 750 ml is just a tease. Flowers and berries and minerals on the nose. Sleek and concentrated in the mouth, with the complexity growing the longer it is in the glass. Wish I had more than one bottle left. A kaleidoscope of flavors. And only 12.8% abv. One more bit of proof that Tegan Passalacqua knows what he is about. — 7 years ago

Sonoma County Trousseau 2014

A beautiful example of contrast & tension. Fleshy red berries are at the core surrounded by shimmering acidity and a light spiciness. That spice gently walks the line between an herbal or savory note on the back of the palate. This is on the light side of medium bodied, but possesses an almost creamy texture, yet another contrast. I usually love Trousseau with fish, but this was brilliant with bibimbap. @Tegan Passalacqua — 8 years ago

Bibimap???

@Ron R - I misspelled it before. Bibimbap is a Korean rice bowl with lots of tasty meat & veggies & Gochujang (spicy bean paste). All topped with a fried egg. The acid in this wine & the egg yolk are heaven together

Radici Della Famiglia Quattro Sangiovese Blend

This sangio/cab blend is exquisite! Bright red fruit dominates (strawberries and ripe raspberries), but oak tannins and a spicy tobacco finish play nicely off the fruit explosion. Yum!! — 6 years ago

I was happy with the past but really like the "new" direction of Turley since
@Tegan Passalacqua took over.
Not terribly complex but at $20 on the Mailing List this is the perfect "pizza/BBQ wine" and a fabulous QPR if I ever saw one....
