97 points Very limited. 97 Points Robert Parker: "Possibly the most famous of all of the Turley Zinfandels, is the Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard from an old head-pruned vineyard (planted in 1902 and 1903) on the back streets of St. Helena near the library. Possibly the quintessential Napa Valley Zinfandel, it is full-bodied, with glorious levels of blue, black and red fruits, floral notes, a full-bodied, seamless, opulent texture and stunning mouthfeel, without a trace of heaviness or heat. It is sensationally rich, beautifully pure, and a classic, world-class wine made from ancient vines that have been translated into a meticulously crafted wine. Drink it over the next decade.."

Complex. Lots of fruit smoothing over the tannins. Some bramble and grip. Pretty distinctive. Give this a good decant.

The 2015 Hayne Zin from Turkey is another in a long line of exemplary Cali Zins from Turley and this vineyard in particularly. Cherry ice cream on top, layers of flavor down to toast and maybe pepper with firm but not overbearing tannins. Always a favorite of mine and this vintage doesn’t disappoint. UPDATE: still drinking great 9/24 with some tertiary notes of dried fruit just at the edges.
