Crafted by Turley Wine Cellars, this vibrant red is born from young vines carefully replanted within some of California's most historic, centenarian vineyards. Founder Larry Turley, a former emergency room doctor who spent decades rescuing neglected heritage vines, created this bottling to capture the exuberant energy of these legendary sites in an approachable, early-drinking style. Aged primarily in neutral oak to let the pure fruit take center stage, it bursts with juicy wild berries, fresh floral aromas, and a warm touch of peppery spice. It is a wonderfully balanced, joyful pour that feels effortlessly delicious whether shared over a weeknight dinner or opened at a casual backyard gathering with friends.
