Turley Wine Cellars is a highly regarded winery from California, renowned for its focus on old-vine Zinfandel and traditional Californian varieties. Founded in 1993 by Larry Turley, the estate has built a strong reputation for producing wines sourced from historic vineyards across regions such as Napa Valley, Paso Robles, Sonoma and Mendocino.
Many of the vineyards Turley works with are between 50 and over 100 years old. These old vines produce naturally low yields but highly concentrated fruit with remarkable character. The wines typically display aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry and plum, layered with notes of spice, cocoa and wild herbs.
The winery follows a philosophy centered on vineyard expression and minimal intervention. Many vineyards are farmed organically or sustainably, and winemaking techniques aim to preserve the authenticity of the fruit. The resulting wines are powerful yet balanced expressions of California’s historic vineyard sites.
