About Turley Wine Cellars
When it comes to California Zinfandels, Larry Turley is the master. His are huge, exotic reds that often have head-spinning alcohol and a bit of residual sugar, but at their core, are really showcases for the rich, ripe, old-vine fruit...

94-96 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2001
Bright deep ruby. Vibrant but reticent nose hints at raspberry syrup. Fat, lush and sweet, with explosively spicy flavors of black cherry, cassis and bitter chocolate. This has wonderful creamy sweetness at its core. Finishes with chewy tannins and great persistence.

Fantastic, but...

I'm spoiled. Very spoiled. The first sip I took was upsetting to me. Here is why: This is not as good as the Martinellis I've had or as good as the Turley Pringle or Earthquake-Moore from this vintage. Is it an $85 wine? Yes. But it isn't what legends are made of, and I was sorta hoping it would be.
So much in this wine

wow - this wine is a blockbuster. Steve's review nails it. Will be hard to match with any food but with this wine you don't need food.
