Turley - Petite Sirah Napa Valley Hayne Vineyard 2000 (750ml)
Turley Description
The Hayne Petite Syrah was planted in 1953 by Otty Hayne while he was home from college, along with his father. All head-trained, dry-farmed and organic, this Petite Syrah is one of the most unique wines in California. Powerful and inky in its youth, the wine becomes more feminine and refined with age, and will outlive us all.
Vinous: 90-92 Points
Saturated dark ruby. Fresh, deep aromas of kirsch and tobacco; smells a bit like ruby port. Penetrating and sharply focused, but quite closed today. Not especially sweet or fleshy despite its 15.1% alcohol. Rather stubbornly backward and firmly tannic on the finish.
