I have been wanting to try a Turley Zin. Are they truly
outstanding and what Vineyard would you recommend?
Sony SCD-777ES >> Silver Audio SB 4.0 >> AI M3A >> Silver Audio Hyacinth >> Odyssey Stratos >> Tice 416A Bi-wire >> MG 1.6QR

...they're a little overrated now. There are a lot of good zins around these days.But you need to try one. Perhaps the Duarte, Moore "Earthquake", Tofanelli or Dogtown Vinyards. Least expensive and least complex are Juvenile and Old Vines, a blend.
When they first started, winemaking legend Helen Turley, was the winemaker. They were spectacular then, good fruit and with layers of complexity. About 10 years ago she turned it over to her brother Larry, who was a surgeon. They bought a winery in The Paso Robles area and moved there from Napa.
Helen continues to consult with other wineries and focuses on her own, Marcassin, where she makes virtually unobtainable, highly rated pinot noirs.
Turley makes at least 12 different zins, probably more, priced from $20 to $75. I've seen them in some specialty wine shops, but usually marked up.
A friend of mine is their banker and when she last visited them, came back with a Turley zin from a Mexican vinyard.
The ones I've seen lately in Wine Spectator have scored between maybe 88 and 91 points.
The best way to get them is to get on their mailing list.
