Turley Zinfandel: Old Vines and California Heritage


On Sale Now!


Turley Wine Cellars

Few wineries in California have shaped the modern understanding of Zinfandel as profoundly as Turley Wine Cellars. Founded in the early 1990s by Larry Turley, the estate began with a simple but radical idea: preserve California’s oldest vineyards and allow them to speak clearly, without cosmetic winemaking. At a time when many historic Zinfandel plantings were being pulled out or replanted, Turley committed to rescuing and farming these sites, setting the stage for one of the most distinctive portfolios in American wine.

Larry Turley’s path to wine was anything but conventional. A former emergency room physician, he brought an analytical mind and deep sense of purpose to viticulture, focusing on dry-farmed, head-trained vines, many of them planted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Rheingau Perfection: Künstler On Super Close Out Sale! 1-25-26



Weingut Künstler

Weingut Künstler is one of the Rheingau’s most compelling modern estates, rooted in history and driven by precision. The winery was founded in 1965 by Franz Künstler, who relocated his family to Germany from what is now the Czech Republic in the aftermath of World War II. Today, the estate is led by his son, Günter Künstler, a graduate of Geisenheim University whose focus on dry Riesling has helped redefine the reputation of the Rheingau for a new generation.

Based in Hochheim, Künstler farms vineyards in one of Germany’s most historically revered wine towns. Long before regions like the Mosel gained international fame, Hochheim and the broader Rheingau were celebrated for producing Rieslings of depth, power, and longevity. For centuries, these wines commanded extraordinary prestige, often fetching prices that rivaled or exceeded those of Bordeaux on early wine lists.

The Stunning Merlots of Saint-Emilion
 
Explore one of the world’s famous appellations for Merlot! The region of Saint-Emilion boasts treasured estates such as Angelus, Chateau Canon, Chateau Troplong Mondot, and more. Heralded for centuries, it can be easy to forget how and why these wines are so stunning.
 
The soils are rich in clay and chalk, ideal for the approachable yet mineral-laced and refined Merlots. (The area is notably cooler, too, than the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated Left Bank appellations, helping the grapes retain acidity and depth of flavors.)
 
We boast a wide selection of estates, all Grand Cru (with one bonus producer from the satellite region of Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion), which means they adhere to stricter production requirements, ensuring they represent the finest wines Saint-Emilion has to offer.

Bruna Grimaldi
 
Bruna Grimaldi’s classic, well-structured and delicious wines outperform their modest price tags. The estate dates back to the 1990s, when Bruna (along with her husband, Franco Fiorino) began bottling her own wine. This decision came after decades selling off the exceptional fruit and bulk wine before eventually selling small amounts locally. As the word got out and international interest poured in, the wines have only improved.
 
Their Barolos are the ultimate values. The wines tend to be fairly solid, built primarily for the cellar, but with an early opening that makes them enjoyable in the near term. The Camilla is a blend of multiple sites, mostly from the ridgelines to the north of La Morra.
