Turley Wine Cellars is a California wine producer with wineries in both Templeton, and St. Helena. It specializes in wines made from old-vine Zinfandel, and as of 2004 Turley had a two-year waiting list for new customers. Turley Wine Cellars was founded in 1993 by Larry Turley, brother of the well-known consulting winemaker Helen Turley. He had entered the wine business in 1981 as co-founder of the multi-varietal Frog's Leap Winery, but soon realized that his interest lay in wines made from the Zinfandel grape. Starting out with just one location in St. Helena, Turley Wine Cellars soon expanded to Templeton with the purchase of Pesenti winery, and as of 2007, they produce 14,000 cases a year of both single-vineyard and regional Zinfandel wines. "Wine Spectator" described their wines as having "remarkable intensity and layered concentration", with a "distinctive mineral character and lively acidity, which keep flavors focused even at advanced ripeness."
