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

Open a bottle of this beauty to hear the ancient chants of monks in a place far off. A place where the soul has room to breath; the ultimate escape from the day’s pressure. The essence of peace and serenity drift to the frontal lobe. Immerse in a calm divinity. Let it wash through you, transporting your mind as you envision early morning fog, grapevines, rolling hills, sunlight, water - you are one with nature. Namaste.

At Turiya things are done by hand, and barrels are lifted up high with the forklift and emptied into a tank for blending a few days before it goes into bottle. This wine was a barrel of each grape (Sangio, P.V. and Merlot) added to the mix. Why this combination? I wanted a wine with the jamminess of the Merlot, the lush and mouth-filling character of the Petit Verdot and the bursting and lingering finish of the Sangiovese. Equal parts provides a balanced experience.
