This was probably one of the finest California Cabs I've tasted-probably because it had a much more Bordeaux like quality than the normally simple sweetness that I associate with cabs. A lovely earthy character, deep dark fruit and balanced with supple tannin. Excellent.

Exquisite wine! Drinking perfectly now, except for a little "pruny" taste to it that must mean it's almost reached it's downhill slope. Drink up and enjoy as there are too many recent Turley's that can be drunk in a few years.

dark ruby, slightest ambering on the rim. Big nose of black fruit, spice/bramble, leather. Low-medium acidity, black fruit on the palate, a little smoke, rich but not over concentrated, but still plenty of powerful -- yet mellow -- tannins. Nice smooth finish. On breathing, got smoother and aromas of chocolate/espresso emerged. Give the next bottle a few years.

excellant wine buy more and hold but excellant to drink now

great wine - get more and save

Deep color, wonderful notes of fruit, tar, licorice, a little oak. Great balance -- plenty of tannins, but plenty of fruit. Jennifer said it tasted "chemically" ... a reaction, no doubt, to the combination of oak and terroir. Yet another great Cos ...

5/14/05- Had with Damien and Caroline at Mako. Same notes as before. 12/24/04- Certainly not a great wine. Drinkable but after the cola nose, there's not a lot left. Drink now. 2/16/04 Good stuff. Great nose with aged cherries and cola. Drinking well now. Had at Linda's bday party.

One of the best Cab's I have had. Balance and potent but still soft fruit. Would have lasted forever - I shall miss it . . . . .

very nice cherry flavor.... slight send of minereal.... fairly light body.... have a sense that this is not the best expression of the vineyard

Almost past prime. Not balanced.

Drinking weel, but still young. Astringent. Fairly short finish.
