Ultra complex with terrific intensity. Red currant, black cherry jam, boysenberry, a subtle hint of cured meats, exotic spices and a gorgeous, long and balanced finish. — 7 years ago

Too early for prime drinking but couldn’t resist with steak and garlic shallot potatoes. Cab definitely the prominent varietal here with moderate to strong tannins and taut cherry and boysenberry fruits with an already developing balsamic edge. — 8 years ago

Blackberry and boysenberry aromas and flavors, very good Shiraz from Mt. Langhi Ghiran that drinks now well tonight, should improve for 2-5 years, but lovely now!! — 2 years ago

Another newbie out recently from Turley. Made from “young vines” (under 50 years old I believe is the Turley definition), the wine is opaque, unctuous and mouth coating, loaded with boysenberry and kirsch. Perhaps not as complex as some of the Old Vine blends or single vineyards and running a bit hot on its 15%+ abv at the moment, this is still a great drinking, bargain of a wine. — 4 years ago

Machete and Team Fortress 2. Decent night. The last of my Christmas wine. …Gasoline, boysenberry, & blackberry on the nose. Sharp, almost tangy front. Notes of black tea & leather on the front. Plum, blackberry, & blueberry mid-palate. Tannic raspberry finish. Not quite as lush as other vintages. That tangy-ness sticks with you. Still beautiful, though. — 5 years ago

Wild/rustic boysenberry, smoke, spice, minerality, charcoal, garrigue, menthol, soft tannins and balancing acid. Kermit Lynch does it again, always finds a prime example. Steak a little big for it, but working. — 7 years ago

A lovely Cab with mild tannins, an easy sip filled with a nice blend of plums, currents, boysenberry, peppers, and a slight earthy feel. A very strong wine for the price. — 8 years ago

"Edgy and full of flavour, the Prisoner is a bold red meant for indulging. On the nose, expect a bursting bouquet of bing cherries, dark chocolate, clove and roasted fig, followed by juicy ripe fruit flavours. Notes of raspberry and boysenberry with hints of pomegranate give way to a lingering taste of warm vanilla on the palate. A long, smooth finish lingers in your mouth. " — 4 years ago

Aged in 40% new French oak. Pale to medium ruby-purple, the nose offers dark berry fruits, smoky cedar notes and spicy touches of forest floor. On the palate flavors of boysenberry, blackberry, and crushed red cherries with notes of cedar and spice, lively acidity, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy notes. — 5 years ago

Amazing pairing! Chicago style pizza and Saratoga Syrah. Deep purple color. Aromas of smoked meat, boysenberry and blackberry. Haunting blackberry, boysenberry, huckleberry and limestone finish.
5% Viognier to this big boy.

Dense dark fruit aromas. Plum, black currant, boysenberry, and baking spices on the palate.
This really has lived up to the hype of the 96pt rating by wine advocate. Great value at $35. And shows tremendous potential with some aging. — 7 years ago
