Passalacqua Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

What a surprise. Old gal was drinking beautifully and had tannins to boot. Cassis and more old world in style. — 8 years ago

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

Valais Petite Arvine 2014

Very nice Swiss wine by a Romanian wine maker. Surprisingly complex and pleasant, apparently with some oak exposure. Vanilla, Caramel, but mostly citrus flavors. Exciting new find for us! — 9 years ago

Juvenile California Zinfandel 2015

15.5% alc.

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....

My 5th grade teacher was Ms. Passalacqua :) Have you tried the Sandlands? He does that label still right?

@Norman Gennaro Yes, Sandlands is Tegan's "baby".
I have limited experience with the wines but the few sips I've had I've enjoyed.
