Absolutely prodigious, the 2014 Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge (which is more potent at 15% natural alcohol) is a blockbuster with an extraordinary essence of blueberry and blackberry fruit, full-bodied texture, and stunning purity. This is a quintessential example of what Petite Sirah can achieve in the hands of a dedicated and talented winemaking staff. This is sensational stuff that should drink well for 30 or more years. All told there are seven Zinfandels from Napa Valley, ranging from Atlas Peak in the south, to Howell Mountain in mid-valley, to the estate vineyard just north of St. Helena. As one might expect, all of these are remarkable Zinfandels. Something new from Turley are their three cuvées of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Dragon Vineyard from Howell Mountain, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Turley Estate Vineyard and the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard from Sonoma. Great winemaking for Zinfandel certainly seems to translate well when it comes to dealing with Cabernet Sauvignon, at least in the case of Larry Turley and his staff. Turley continues to excel with probably the most underrated grape in California, Petite Sirah. It is the ultimate antioxidant red wine grape, taking forever to shed tannin and be approachable, but lasting easily, in the best cases, for 20-30 or more years. I tasted five cuvées of Petite Sirah from Turley (and remember, they spell “Sirah” as “Syrah”). What is remarkable is that these wines are all significantly lower in alcohol than the Zinfandels or even the Cabernet Sauvignons. The first three Petite Sirahs from the Turley estate are from the Library Vineyard and Pesenti Vineyard, all tipping the scales at 14.4% alcohol, with the Rattlesnake ridge at 15% and the Hayne Vineyard about the same.

One of the many highlights in this range, the 2014 Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge is absolutely fabulous. Today, the 2014 tastes like a combination of crushed rocks, licorice, graphite, mint, lavender and plums, all classic expressions of Howell Mountain. Powerful yet also remarkably vivid, the 2014 is a real rock star today. (AG) (10/2015)

Dense, mouthcoating tannins offer lovely perfumed notes of violet and dried lavender that elevate the dark, brooding core of plum and huckleberry. Hints of black walnut and matcha green tea linger on the velvety, thick, expressive finish. (Web-2016) (MW)
