Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by former emergency room physician Larry Turley in 1993. Under the direction of winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley now makes 50 different wines from over 50 vineyards across California, primarily Zinfandel and Petite Syrah, with many vines dating back to the late 1800s. By farming organically and focusing on old vine vineyards of these varieties, Turley aims to both create and preserve California’s unique winemaking culture.
Certified organic vines planted in the 1920s in white mineral-rich rocky soils. An outright exuberant nose of ripe red raspberry, fruit leather, and high-toned spice. Bright and energetic on the palate with pure, sweet red fruits and holiday spices. A long, almost oldworld Pinot note on the finish, the Pesenti is always a standout in the spring lineup.
