TURLEY WINE CELLARS PETITE SYRAH HAYNE VINEYARD NAPA VALLEY 2022

The historic Hayne Vineyard, tucked in St. Helena's alluvial gravelly loam soils, produces what many consider Turley's crown jewel—a Petite Syrah from vines planted in 1953 that yield a mere 1.1 tons per acre. These certified organic, head-trained vines are meticulously dry-farmed and hand-harvested before undergoing native yeast fermentation and extended 18-month aging in a combination of French (80%) and American oak (20% new). The 2022 vintage exemplifies why this bottling has achieved cult status among collectors, delivering remarkable concentration with a compelling balance of earthy, floral, and savory notes framed by bright acidity and the formidable tannic structure that promises decades of cellaring potential. Bottled unfined and unfiltered at 15.3% alcohol, this powerful expression showcases Turley's commitment to preserving California's viticultural heritage while producing wines of exceptional character and longevity.
