For nearly three decades, Turley has been a benchmark producer of Old Vine Zinfandel. In fact, their first vintage in 1993 ranked #11 on the Wine Spectator Top 100 list.👏 If you’re a fan of Frog’s Leap Winery, the wine was initially made at what is now the Turley Cellars production winery just north of St. Helena. Turley was the co-founder of Frog’s Leap Winery and when he sold his interest in 1993, he kept the winery and property. That same year, Larry founded Turley Cellars and produced his first vintage. 🍇 Their wines are produced from 50+ vineyards across Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi, Contra Costa, Amador and Paso Robles. If you’re looking to visit Turley, there’s two tasting rooms in Amador and Paso Robles counties.
