The Turley Zinfandels are among the hardest to secure in California, and we are thrilled to have received enough to place this on our top wine list! Though the vast majority of the Turley wines are single vineyard designates, Juvenile is actually composed of a variety of young vines that have been replanted in several of their most heralded old vine sites. The vines that make up Juvenile range in age from about 6-25 years, and they pull from 18 of their best vineyards across California, including Hayne, Ueberroth, Pesenti, Salvador, Vineyard 101, Fredericks and Kirschenmann. The new vines are tagged when replanted, so as not to mix the brand new vine with its much older neighbors, then pick these young vines separately and make a distinct wine. The Juvenile bottling shows plenty of satiating spiced plum, blood orange, and stone fruits, with grippy tannins and well-balanced acidity. Eminently drinkable now, with classic Juvenile texture, this wine is sure to go fast!
