2021 Turley Wine Cellars Hayne Vineyard Petite Syrah, Paso Robles, USA

Winemaker Notes
"This estate-owned and certified organic vineyard was planted by the Turley team using cuttings from the legendary Hayne vineyard. Head-trained, dry-farmed and planted in limestone, the wines are dark, smooth, dense and classic Petite Syrah. As the vines age the wines are increasingly expressive of the Pesenti Vineyard with minerality, savory spices and high tone pepper.

Certified organic, dry-farmed estate vines descended from Hayne budwood. Lively purple fruits, petrichor, graphite, black peppercorn, and white stone. Beautifully composed on the palate, with plenty of fruit, savory smoked meats, and elegant chalky tannin. Drinking well now at 60°-65°F with a light decant and can age for years to come."

 Rated 97 Points Vinous

"The 2021 Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard shows why this site is so magical. Seamless on the palate, with tremendous fruit purity, the Hayne dazzles from start to finish. Dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, licorice, new leather and spice all meld together. There are no hard or awkward edges in this young Petite, just tons of pure pedigree. What a wine!"

Rated 96 Points Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Petite Syrah Hayne Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1953. Opaque ruby-black in color, this has some rubbery touches on the nose that give way with time to blackcurrant, garrigue, cocoa powder, laurel leaves and charcuterie. The palate is lighter on its feet than the nose leads you to believe, with alluringly floral flavors and soft herbal undertones. It has a surprisingly refined texture, impressive freshness and a very long finish. Offer it 3-5 years in bottle."
