2002 Turley Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard Napa Valley, California WB Rating: 92 Alcohol by volume: 14.9% Price at time of purchase: $45.00 (through winery mailing list) Type: Petite Sirah Principal varietal(s): Petite Sirah This is a youthful, powerful, unevolved Petite Sirah that is probably at least two years from coming into its own. Exceedingly dark, glass-staining black/purple color, still closed in aroma but with promising hints of deep black raspberry and blackberry fruit along with a complex mineral-like component. Extremely extracted, powerful, tannic mouthfeel at this point, with a boatload of tannin in the finish, but extremely balanced and pure in impact overall. This is a potential monster that's a few years from showing its stuff. Many thanks to our pal A.S. for sharing this beauty. - WB team 2006-03-11 [Back] |
