Turley, Napa Valley, Turley Estate, Petite Syrah 2015 Northwest deeply varietal wine loaded with93 points Vinous The 2015 Petite Syrah Turley Estate is intense, dark, but wonderfully suave for Petite. Blackberry jam, graphite, crme de cassis, lavender and menthol give shape to this powerful, sensual Petite. Silky tannins add to the wine's surprising accessibility, even at this early stage.
