Might be the best cab I’ve ever had. Why doesn’t Turley make more cab? Only one I’ve ever seen and been hanging on to it for ~8yrs. Flawless in every way. Blew the Scarecrow that came up next out of the water. — 3 months ago
Bramble berries and cherry cedar aromas. Smooth on the palette with a clean finish. Well balanced. — a month ago

If you can calibrate your mind for Turley (or Zins in general), these are fun and hedonistic wines to simply enjoy.
My first experience with the Turley Dusi. Initial impression is this has Paso all over it (as it should, since it’s a Paso vineyard) with a sense of weightless gravitas. Wave after wave of ripe fruits from the entire spectrum (red, blue and black berry fruits), cedar, espresso all on the nose. Little bit of EA sharpness (as I’ve found common with Turley) but only at levels to elevate the aromatics, not enough to detract from the overall profile. Mixed berry pie richness on the palate with more cedar, spiced plum, dark cocoa and just a faint profile of chewing tobacco leaves (not sure if that’s the profile of Dusi, or if that’s evolution after almost 8yrs). ABV is noticeable when warm but drinks nice closer to cellar temp. Pop corks and enjoy over the next few years. — a month ago
Bright, young, pepper and sour cherries. Unexpected from a Lodi wine. Great pairing with a sausage/potato fry up — 2 months ago
