2900 Vineyard Drive, Templeton, CA 93465 Phone: (805) 434-1030 Club/Discounts: Mailing list from Website. 2 Yr Waiting List Tasting Fees: $10 for 4 tastings. Includes glass Turley is well known for their Zinfandels that are bold and balanced that age well. The winery is the only place to buy the wines and is hidden away south of Paso Robles on the way to San Luis Obispo - worth a visit.
May 2008: Visited Turley again to check out the winery. Good friendly service and nice wines. Worth visiting. Wine club has a two year waiting list!!
Only four Zinfandels are available to taste at the winery out of a list of 13. I would love to have tried the others but not to be. We bought a variety of bottles to taste at a later date |

| Very nice wine. One of the better Zinfandels I have tried. This is the disadvantage of not trying the wine in the tasting room. Beautiful fruit and finish. Just annoyed that I don't have any more!! |
