2021 Turley Petit Syrah Hayne Vineyard
California Certified Organic Farmers
Tasting Notes
This estate-owned and certified organic vineyard was planted by the Turley team using cuttings from the legendary Hayne vineyard. Head-trained, dry-farmed and planted in limestone, the wines are dark, smooth, dense and classic Petite Syrah. As the vines age the wines are increasingly expressive of the Pesenti Vineyard with minerality, savory spices and high tone pepper.
Certified organic, dry-farmed estate vines descended from Hayne budwood. Lively purple fruits, petrichor, graphite, black peppercorn, and white stone. Beautifully composed on the palate, with plenty of fruit, savory smoked meats, and elegant chalky tannin. Drinking well now at 60°-65°F with a light decant and can age for years to come.

HISTORY
Otty Hayne planted the Hayne Petite Syrah in 1953 while he was home from college visiting his grandfather. All head-trained, dry-farmed and organic, this Petite Syrah vineyard is one of the most exceptional sites in California. The wine is powerful and inky in its youth, and becomes more elegant and refined with age. Likely to outlive us all.
