About Turley Wine Cellars

In May of 2000 Turley Wine Cellars purchased Pesenti Winery, which is located in Templeton, California, for the 80-year-old Zinfandel vines on the property. The sight of the old gnarled Zinfandel vines running down the steep slopes of this old vineyard attracted Larry Turley and Ehren Jordan to the Paso Robles area, which has been receiving more and more recognition as an up-and-coming wine region. The original winery now houses state-of- the-art winemaking equipment, the tasting room has had a face-lift and a tremendous amount of energy has been spent improving viticulture practices. This newly updated facility allows for natural winemaking techniques encouraging the intensely concentrated grapes to reveal their true character. Turley vineyard itself is an amazing site and perfect for the cultivation of Zinfandel. Planted on poor limestone soils with good drainage, the marine influence permits the grapes to stay on the vine for a longer period of time. Temperatures can drop significantly in the evenings and as a result the grapes ripen at a slower rate. Complex flavors and natural grape sugars are in perfect balance with the grape’s acid levels. The resulting wines are deep in color, intense in flavor and full-bodied.

Fine Wine Merchant the Saratoga Wine Exchange has many vintages of Turley Wine Cellars & Vineyard wines (zinfandel and pinot noir) in stock for immediate shipment.

Turley Winery 2001 Pesenti Vineyard Zinfandel
Turley Winery Zinfandel: This is the brand new release from Turley's newest vineyard in Paso Robles, CA - the Pesenti Vineyard. A rare chance to taste the "future of Turley" as this is their new home property in the heart of Paso Robles wine country and home to the only Turley Tasting room in the world.

Turley Winery 2001 Juvenile Zinfandel
Turley Wine Cellars Zinfandel: The Juvenile is a blend of Turley's youngest Zinfandel plantings in older vineyards from the Hayne, Moore, Duarte, Pesenti and Howell Mountain vineyards. The wine is a purple reddish hue and shows very classic Zinfandel aromas of plums, berries, jam and spice. Beautiful texture, with nicely balanced tannins and acidity. Delicious.

Turley Zinfandel Estate 2003 750ml

United States California

Rated 93 - There are 200 cases of the 2003 Zinfandel Turley Estate (15.2 % alcohol). Grown on an old river bed filled with cobbles, this supple-textured, round, easygoing, hedonistic Zinfandel offers loads of briery, peppery, berry fruit and leafy, herbal notes, a succulent style, and a gorgeous glycerin- and fruit-endowed finish. Far less powerful and concentrated than the epic 2002, it should drink well for 4-5 years.- Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Mead Ranch 2003 750ml

United States California Napa Valley Atlas Peak

Rated 92 - Loaded with sweet black currant, plum, and raspberry fruit is the dark ruby-colored 2003 Zinfandel Mead Ranch (a medium to full-bodied, 400-case cuvee with 16.5% alcohol grown on a mountaintop vineyard). Bluer, blacker fruits make an appearance, but what I liked about the wine was its purity and fruit-driven character, with less spice and more of the fruit spectrum represented. Its suppleness and opulence should allow it to age nicely for 5-6 years if not longer.- Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard 2005 750ml

United States California Lodi

Rated 92 -Another winner from Howell Mountain is the 2005 Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard. It shows beautiful crushed rock, acacia flower, raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry characteristics, full body, supple tannin, and decent acidity. It won’t make old bones, but for drinking during its first 4-5 years of life, it is impressively constituted as well as well-balanced. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Estate 2005 750ml

United States California Napa Valley

Rate 90. Elegant, with ripe, rustic plum, smoky sage and licorice aromas and rich black cherry, coffee and spice flavors that deftly balance fresh acidity, a fleshy texture and firm tannins. Drink now through 2012. Wine Spectator

Turley Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge 2006 750ml

United States California Napa Valley Howell Mountain

Rated 92 - The 2006 Petite Sirah Rattlesnake Ridge offers huge tannins, a dense ruby/purple color, a monster attack, but an excruciatingly tannic finish. This wine is loaded but needs at least 5-8 years of bottle age and should keep for 25+ years. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Moore Earthquake Vineyard 2005 750ml

United States California Napa Valley

Rated 93 -Two of my favorite Zinfandels include the 2005 Zinfandel Moore Earthquake Vineyard. It possesses the darkest ruby/purple color of these offerings as well as a beautiful perfume of blueberries, blackberries, flowers, pepper, and earth. This complete, rich, beautifully textured, super-long cuvee is one of the top successes of this vintage. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Moore Earthquake Vineyard 2004 750ml

United States California Napa Valley

Rated 93 - One of the most complex offerings here, the 2004 Zinfandel Moore Earthquake Vineyard, offers hints of raspberries, anise seed, and earth along with beautiful purity, a full-bodied, opulent style, and good underlying acidity as well as definition. It should drink well for 7-10 years. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfadel Grist Vineyard Bradford Mountain 2006 750ml

United States California Sonoma County Dry Creek Valley

Rated 92 - Gorgeous berry fruit intermixed with some spring flowers, loamy soil notes, and earth jump from the glass of the full-bodied 2006 Zinfandel Grist Vineyard. This is a strong effort in the vintage, the wine powerful, rich, and long. It should drink nicely for 5-6 years. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Hanyne Vineyard 2005 750ml

United States California

Rated 93 - Dark ruby. Very sexy but youthfully reticent aromas of peppery red fruits. Creamy-sweet but bright, with firm acids giving vinosity and lift to the crunchy red cherry and pepper flavors. A bit disturbed in its current form yet stylish, with a fine-grained texture and firm tannic spine. Should be a knockout. - Stephen Tanzer

Turley Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard 2006 750ml

United States California San Luis Obispo Paso Robles

Rated 95 - A fabulous Zinfandel that reminded me of a Chateauneuf du Pape was the 2006 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard. The wine is full-bodied, opulent, and a super hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on. It should drink well for 5-7 years. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Dogtown Vineyard 2006 750ml

United States California Lodi

Rated 89 - Acidity is not an issue for the 2006 Zinfandel Dogtown... The wine has loads of earthiness, some crushed rock and berry fruit, and a straightforward, peppery spiciness. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfadel Pesenti Vineyard 2006 750ml

United States California San Luis Obispo Paso Robles

Rated 94 - From the limestone soils of Paso Robles, the 2006 Zinfandel Pesenti is a beauty. The limestone seems to give Zinfandels in that area acidity, vibrancy, and aromatic personalities, but without sacrificing the intrinsic richness and intensity from low yields. This wine boasts fabulous briery, blackberry, and cherry fruit, a crushed rock note, and a long, heady finish. This is super Zinfandel that should last 7-8 years. - Robert Parker

Turley Zinfandel Cedarman Vineyard 2006 750ml

United States California San Luis Obispo Paso Robles

Rated 92 - A wine that exhibits purity, medium to full body, and sweet black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with some licorice, pepper, and damp earth is the 2006 Zinfandel Cedarman, from young vineyard on Howell Mountain. - Robert Parker
