Turley’s been on a roll lately, and I’ve taken a flyer on the 2010 (calling it “The Label” was one of the better pithy wine names I’ve heard) and the 2011 which came under the house label but thankfully not the house bottle shape.
So tonight I get the save-the-date for the “Turley Cabernets Release”, hoping the “s” on the “Cabernets” was just missing an apostrophe. Nope - three vineyards. I’m out.
Interesting - allocated 1 bottle each of the Dragon and Monticello, but 32 of the estate.
I’ve ignored the Turley cab releases to date, but figure this would be a good time to buy a bottle of each, for assessment purposes to see if I’ll want to buy more in the future. Prices don’t seem too bad ($44/$65).
I got 24/0/0 also, and decided to pass before reading here.
AG likes them, but the $44 and $65 seem too much when the cellar is approaching capacity. Got the 2012 and enjoyed the first bottle, but it wasn’t compelling enough to dive in.
Any theories how skipping will affect future allocations?
Also passed, just not a lot of loose change around. It is interesting to see how fast two of the bottle offerings sold out fairly fast but not much chatter on WB for them. Maybe the release was poorly timed?
After the third email, I finally broke down and bought some. The shipping for 2 bottles was only $6. That just does not happen.
I’ve had some of the other Turley 2013’s and they have been outstanding. I thought I should give the cab a try as well.
