I'll second that. Not sure I've ever seen one under 16%, and even at that level there's always a lot of residual sugar.

Nope...beg to differ on that. Most of the Turley Zins these days are in the 14.5%-15.5% range...Seldom above 16% anymore.
And virtually never any RS. The PS/Charbono (my favorites) are usually in the mid-14% range. Much more "normal" to my taste
than the Zins.

Still drinking my mid-1990s Turleys. Their move to a lighter style was sensible - people either drank the old style on release (and got nothing but an Aussie style blast of fruit and tannin) or aged them 10 years and got a little complexity in the mix (along with suprisingly light colour sometimes).
The newer style makes much more sense in terms of cellaring a few years only.
I wish I knew when the 1990s Petite Sirahs would be drinkable......
