In his earlier years, Larry Turley trained and worked as an emergency room physician. His entry into the wine world first came when he got home one night to discover someone camping on his property. It was John Williams, the soon-to-be winemaker at Spring Mountain. Their friendship eventually led to a business partnership, and in 1981 they started Frog’s Leap Winery together. In 1993 Turley sold his half of Frog’s Leap to Williams so that he could devote himself to a small project focused on old-vine vineyards. He now makes 47 wines, the vast majority of which are single-vineyard-designate Zinfandels and Petite Sirahs. This Zin is from the Ueberroth Vineyard in Paso Robles; first planted in 1885, it is one of the oldest of the vineyards Turley works with. Powerful, polished and structured, the wine offers chalky tannins coated in silky, luscious red fruits and framed by racy acidity. Ready to drink now, the wine will also age well thanks to the abovementioned power and structure.
