Turley has been producing big, lush Zinfandels from old vines throughout California since 1993. Turley Wine Cellars is owned by Larry and Suzanne Turley (brother of Helen Turley). Helen Turley started off as the original winemaker, but since 1995, Ehren Jordan has taken over the winemaking duties.
The original winery now houses state-of- the-art winemaking equipment. This newly updated facility allows for natural winemaking techniques encouraging the intensely concentrated grapes to reveal their true character. The vineyard itself is an amazing site and perfect for the cultivation of Zinfandel. Planted on poor limestone soils with good drainage, the marine influence permits the grapes to stay on the vine for a longer period of time. Temperatures can drop significantly in the evenings and as a result the grapes ripen at a slower rate. Complex flavors and natural grape sugars are in perfect balance with the grape’s acid levels. The resulting wines are deep in color, intense in flavor and full-bodied.
