About this Item
Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by former emergency room physician Larry Turley in 1993. Under the direction of winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley now makes 50 different wines from over 50 vineyards across California, primarily Zinfandel and Petite Syrah, with many vines dating back to the late 1800s. By farming organically and focusing on old vine vineyards of these varieties, Turley aims to both create and preserve California’s unique winemaking culture. Becoming a recipient of the winery's private wine club can take up to two years.

Critics Ratings
‘Complex, inviting aromas of raspberry and coffee accented by black peppercorn. Juicy, savory wine with a touch of maderization but also plenty of salty sex appeal to its balsamic flavors of cedar and sandalwood. This wine struck me as fairly lush and soft at the outset but it’s still alive 20 years later. Finished with decent length.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (May 2018)
