Rating 4.2/5 on Vivino
Turley Wine Cellars Juvenile Zinfandel is a bold, fruit-forward American red wine made from younger vines (6-25 years old) in some of California's best old-vine sites, offering a more accessible and affordable entry into Turley's Zinfandel portfolio. It's known for its rich dark fruit (blackberry, plum), spice (allspice, pepper), and sometimes leather notes, with a full body, high alcohol (around 15.2%), and balanced tannins, making it a compelling, well-structured, and often "over-performing" wine that is enjoyable now but can also age.
Key Characteristics
- Grape: 100% Zinfandel
- Vineyard: Young vines (6-25 years) from various top Turley vineyards across California
- Aging: 12 months in barrels (typically 80% French, 20% American oak)
- Alcohol: High, around 15.2% ABV
- Style: Rich, bold, juicy, and expressive, with intense fruit but not overly jammy
Tasting Notes (Varies by vintage)
- Aromas: Dark berries (raspberry, blackberry), plum, spice (cinnamon, allspice), lavender, leather, cocoa
- Palate: Full-bodied with ripe, succulent fruit, integrated spice, and a structured, sometimes dusty finish with bright acidity
- Tannins: Grippy but not aggressive; soft and well-integrated
Why it's Popular
- Value: Considered a world-class wine at a more accessible price point than single-vineyard bottlings.
- Accessibility: Made from younger vines, it's often more approachable and ready to drink upon release compared to Turley's older, more powerful wines.
-
Consistency: A reliable and compelling expression of California Zinfandel.
