Outstanding Wire, Not a very well known wine, but once you taset the well rounded body and mixture of flavors you will know why it was rated so high. Also in high demand and tough to get in some areas. One of the smokeyest Zin's I have tasted.

Turley 01 Hayne Zinfandel97 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate: The saturated purple-colored 2001 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard (16.4% alcohol) boasts a glorious bouquet of flowers, blackberries, raspberries, and cherries backed up by enormous body, great purity, tremendous texture, and a finish that lasts for 40-45 seconds. Usually one of the stars of this impressive portfolio, it is seamlessly made with tremendous integration of acidity, tannin, and spice. This fruit-dominated Zinfandel should last for a decade, although it can be enjoyed in its youth. It is a profound effort.
