Turley made this wine from 1994-2010 and to me it was always the benchmark for the varietal during that era. The 13.9% alcohol was probably the lowest in Turley's lineup back in 2002. Their Charbono has always been a sneaky good ager and this is no exception. Probably already on a slow decline now I wouldn't hold on to these much longer. The Tofanelli family now keeps their own fruit. I'll have to try their version one of these days. — 8 years ago

Heat off the nose, bramble, flowers and dust. Raspberry blueberry pie filling, five spice, chocolate. Very balanced, not pruny or over done — 9 years ago

Beautifully stunning salmon pink color. Bright, ripe strawberry on the nose with light floral hints. Easy, bright acidity leads to wonderful juicy flavors of cranberry, strawberry and sour cherry and notes of stony minerality. The finish is crisp and light with lingering acidity. So glad I found one!!! — 10 years ago

Wow, words can not explain how good this is. You just need to try some of these old turley petite's to believe it. This was the first of quite a few older vintages that I have tucked away. Can't wait to enjoy more of these! — 11 years ago

Disappeared real fast, intriguing nose, some dusty earth and zippy fruit, maybe even a small firework, light transparent ruby — 9 years ago
