With a careful winemaking process and proper aging, wines can last several years after it is released and continue to develop to the point of perfection. At Turiya, I keep a small amount of older vintage wines in the library to help with the assessment of the lifespan of the wine. This purposeful extended aging allows me to continue to bottle age these wines, tasting them during the process, and making valuable notes for future vintages. I invite you to add some of these rare wines to your collection, each on truly gets better and better. ~ Cheers! Angela

Blend: 50% Cab Franc & 25% Merlot, Amivida Vineyard, Paso RoblesAVA, 25% Sangiovese, Stolpman Vineyard, Ballard AVA (SYV)
This was the first year Turiya has produced a Cabernet Franc. I wanted to create a blend that had a majority of this grape as the driving force behind the wine. The Cab Franc lends mineralogy and a supple, woodsy character. I blended the Merlot and Sangiovese to add a bit of layered fruit and complexity to the wine. All around this is a fine wine that you can proudly share with loved ones or keep all for yourself. Decanting is recommended and aging potential on this is a long, long time. Drink now through 2025… maybe even longer. Check back then ;)
