Good mulling wine

Still drinking well, but suspect its time to drink up.

Its red. Aroma and flavor aren't unpleasant. Just not much flavor from front to back. Very disappointing from this producer.

Better than first bottle

10/7/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Past peak, less powerful than other bottles. Still OK but drink up

8/22/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Has really opened up - drinking great. Previous bottle thought was over the hill.

8/7/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Really nice Chardonnay, full, creamy. Amazing that this vintage has held up this well.

8/4/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Pleasant, inexpensive. Not complex

8/4/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Held up well but past peak. Needed a bit more tannin

7/10/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Significantly better than previous bottle. Mineral, slight oak, citrus

6/26/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Really nice Cab - went well with steak.

Nose and taste of Pinot, but the dirty sweatsock character is a bit muted compared to other Pinots. Never had a Pinot I would rate above 85 - this is not my grape.

6/17/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Good fruit up front, backend a bit harsh. Still decent QPR

6/3/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Really nice bottle - smooth, lengthy finish. Has aged well.

4/17/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Probably a bit past peak

Consistently the best of the Turley's for my taste

2/5/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

about as good as it gets for a Rose

1/23/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Initial taste on opening - very nice, some tannin, but soft. Not a lot of length but good depth. Decanted, opened up nicely.

1/18/2021 - hoops92 wrote:

Peppery, lots of acid. Moderate depth but very short finish. Not a lush mouthfeel - overall a disappointing Turley.

1/15/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Initially very tight. Opened up after about 30 minutes into a well flavored, full bodied mature cab. At peak - drink up!

1/8/2021 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Definitely past peak - muted flavors, but still pleasant to drink

12/16/2020 - hoops92 Does not like this wine:

Nearly undrinkable. Overly peated to my taste. Haven't been a fan of anything from this producer/blender. Will stick with the Glen's

12/14/2020 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Past peak - still good

12/10/2020 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Definitely mellow, past peak, but still a pleasant wine.

12/9/2020 - hoops92 Does not like this wine:

Nose reminiscent of Pinot. Tastes like Pinot. Not only not what I was expecting from a Turley Zin, as I detest Pinot this is not a good wine for me. Give me a Dusi any day. Definitely on the stay away from this vineyard in future orders list.

10/3/2020 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

well integrated. Tight. Expected it to open up after 2-3 hours, but really didn't. Not sure if needed a decant or not.

9/10/2020 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Definitely past peak. Little fruit left - perhaps because cork was starting to deteriorate. No unpleasant flavors or aromas, just not as good as previous bottles.

9/9/2020 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Intense, brooding Zin - approaching peak but not past. Delicious.

8/21/2020 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Decent for a Rose. Not overly crisp and harsh - easy drinker even though little complexity.

8/19/2020 - hoops92 Likes this wine:

Really nice - still intense. Tannins present but not overpowering. Really nice cab that has held up well.

First taste crisp, but then a bit harsh, and then not much of anything. Overall best descriptor is mediocre. For me, there is are much better chardonnays at this price point.
