This is from the coastal region of Chile.  Pale silvery/gold in color with some green swirls.  The nose has lime, salinity and smoke.  A very lovely slightly oily texture.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, there is an interesting minerality with slight lime and slighter tropical fruits.  Some complexity.  Moderate acidity.  Good finish.  This is very nice on its own and very food friendly.  Roasted turkey or chicken would be a nice match.  Screw capped.  While there is some fruit to this, the minerality is the thing that makes it very interesting.  Excellent value.

This is made utilizing organic grapes from a vineyard, Valle Hermoso, just 13km from the ocean.  Yellow/silver/gold in color, clear and bright.  There is a very expressive nose featuring lemon, lime, lemon verbena, and an almost minty quality.  Medium bodied.  Dry as a bone.  On the palate lots of minerals and herbs with again, nice sort of pepperminty note.  Moderate acidity.  Nice mouthfeel.  This is nice on its own but even better with food.  A Quinoa and Roasted Pepper salad would be perfect.  Screwcapped.  This should drink nicely over the next three to four years.  

From the coastal areas of chile, this vineyard is 20km from the Pacific.  Silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose has lemons, lemon rind and slight green peppers.  Medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  On the palate, lemon candy and lime notes.  There is a long, lemony finish.  Good acidity.  This is nice on its own and will work well with sea food.  Grilled Tune would be a nice match.  Screwcapped.  Drink over the next two to three years.  

Probably my favorite Zinfandel from the Turley offerings.  Deep garnet in color, Mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has back cherries, black cherries, bramble and black pepper.  Full bodied.  Light tannins.  Lots of energy.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Of course young, but drinking well.  Black cherries, cherries, spice and slight char.  Long finish.  This will drink well over the next ten years.  Great on its own, this would be perfect with a burger or ribs on the grill.  

This is a more easy going style of Cote Rotie.  Purple in color with ruby swirls, opaque and bright.  The nose has black raspberries, slight bacon fat, white pepper and some violets.  Full bodied.  Nice acidity.  On the palate, black cherry fruit with black pepper.  Long finish.  Light tannins.  This is drinking well now and should continue to drink well for another ten to twelve years.  It will work better with food than on its own.  A brisket sandwich would work well.  

Pop and pour, this is drinking very well.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, black cherries, tobacco and spice.  Full bodied.  On the palate, this has nice tight layering that unwinds in the glass.  Light tannins.  Notes of cassis, black cherries, slight chocolate, and char.  Great balance.  Long finish.  Still a bit on the young side but no harm in opening a bottle.  This will drink well for another ten to fifteen years.  Great on its own, even better with food.  Pot roast would be a great choice.  

This was a fun bottle.  It is a white wine that comes in a one-liter bottle with a crown cap.  Light golden in color.  It is made from Welschriesling, Feteasca Regala and Grünspitz grapes.  Light golden in color with silvery hues, clear and bright.  Light bodied.  The nose has pears with minerality.  on the palate, this is dry.  Pears with minerality.  Crisp and clean.  Easy to drink.  Thise drinks well on its own and would be nice with lighter foods and salad.  Drink over the next few years.  

Very nice take on the Gewurztraminer grape.  This is certified Biodynamic from relatively young vines (under 15 years old).  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice but does not have the Lychee Nut that I associate with the grape.  More of a floral quality to it, with minerality and slight ginger note.  Medium bodied.  Semi-sweet on the palate.  This is very enjoyable to drink.  It drinks quite easy with lots of round notes.  It drinks well on its own but will work better with food.  This would work well with roasted duck or chicken.  Drink over the next few years.  

Nice to revisit this wine.  It seems full mature at this point.  Golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has some limes along with a touch of yellow grapefruit and a bit of petrol.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, this has a nice complexity.  Citrus and minerality.  With age this has rounded out and while it drinks well on its own, it is very food friendly.  Drink over the next five to ten years.  

One of the truly special producers of Sauvignon Blanc from Austria.  Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is tight at first but opens to show limes, slight lemons, nice minerality and a variety of wildflowers and herbs (sort of like standing in a field).  Medium bodied.  Dry.  On the palate, this is complex with minerality and the display or herbal notes along with some lemon qualities.  A very long finish.  World class.  Drinking well, if young now, this seems like it could easily go another twenty years.  Great on its own, this will work well with seafood but also Thai food.
