"The 2019 Zinfandel Juvenile has a medium ruby color and aromas of earth-laced red and black berries. The palate is soft and alluring with a wealth of ripe fruit and juicy acidity, and it finishes long and uplifted. It's a very approachable style this vintage. 15,670 cases produced."

"The 2019 Zinfandel Juvenile is sleek, polished and wonderfully nuanced. Silky tannins and lifted aromatics give the 2019 so much immediacy and overall appeal. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, cedar and leather add pretty shades of nuance, with floral notes that perk up the finish. This is an especially refined version of the Juvenile, Turley's young-vine, entry-level offering."
Product Description:
"Though the vast majority of our wines are single vineyard designates, Juvenile is actually composed of a variety of young vines that have been replanted in several of our old vine sites. We tag the vine when we replant it 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 vines that make up Juvenile range in age from about 6-25 years, and we pull from 18 of our best vineyards across California, including Hayne, Ueberroth, Pesenti, Salvador, Vineyard 101, Fredericks and Kirschenmann." -Winery
