Turley Wine Cellars is a popular California wine producer with wineries in both Templeton (Southern Cal-Paso Robles wine region) and St. Helena (Northern Cal-Napa Valley wine region). Turley wines are often recognized as "making some of the best, if not the best Zinfandel in California for decades."[1] Becoming a member of the winery's private wine club can take up to two years.[2]
Turley specializes in wines made from old-vine red Zinfandel. They source fruit from older vineyards, some date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[3]
In previous issues of Wine Spectator magazine, Turley wines have received favorable reviews.[4][5]
