Note di degustazione
Deep medium ruby. Sappy, nuanced nose combines black fruits, pepper, licorice and tar. A bit brutal today, with strong acidity and a peppery character currently dominating the wine's savory fruit. Comes across as tight, even youthfully tough, with no easy sweetness. Not my favorite style of petite sirah.

The 2005 Petite Syrah Paso Robles is impressively endowed, but is monolithic as well as difficult to evaluate. It was difficult for much fruit and character to emerge from the heavy lashing of tannin and earth. Previously recommended: As indicated last year, 2004 was a terrific vintage for Turley Zinfandels. If they can still be found, I would opt for purchasing them over their lighter 2005 counterparts. The 2004 reds include: Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard (97), Petite Syrah Library Vineyard (97), Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Ridge (97), Petite Syrah Turley Estate (94), Zinfandel Dogtown Vineyard (88), Zinfandel Dragon Vineyard (94), Zinfandel Duarte (92), Zinfandel Dusi Vineyard (90), Zinfandel Grist Vineyard (94), Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard (95), Zinfandel Juvenile (89), Zinfandel Mead Ranch (89), Zinfandel Moore Earthquake Vineyard (92), Zinfandel Old Vines (91), Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard (92), Zinfandel Rancho Escondido (89), Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge (92), Zinfandel Tofanelli Vineyard (89), Zinfandel Turley Estate (91), Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard (92), Zinfandel Vineyard 101 (95).
