Turley Wine Cellars' "Juvenile" represents an intriguing departure from the cult Zinfandel producer's usual focus on ancient, gnarly vines. While Larry Turley built his reputation since 1993 on wines from some of California's oldest Zinfandel plantings—many dating back over a century—this bottling celebrates the exuberance of youth, sourcing from vines between six and twenty-five years old across various vineyard sites.

Under winemaker Tegan Passalacqua's direction, Turley has expanded their portfolio significantly, and Juvenile serves a specific purpose in their range. It captures the pure, unrestrained character that young Zinfandel vines can deliver—bold and immediately expressive rather than the complex, brooding intensity of their flagship bottlings from heritage vineyards.

The wine draws from select parcels throughout California, allowing Passalacqua to showcase regional diversity while maintaining Turley's signature style. This approach reflects the winery's deep understanding of how vine age influences character, offering collectors and enthusiasts a chance to experience Zinfandel's more accessible, fruit-forward personality alongside the structured, age-worthy expressions that have made Turley a benchmark producer in California's Zinfandel renaissance.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"The 2023 Zinfandel Juvenile is bold, juicy and super-expressive, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Bright red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and new leather build nicely in this tasty, mid-weight offering from Turley." —Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator
