   Improved in 18 months, fruit backed off, smoother, well balanced. Lovely, case-worthy at this price. Meatballs for dinner tonight.

   Great value with a balanced structure, restrained fruit and good acidity. Recommended for Turley first-timers.

   Jerry Martinez – October 22, 2022

   Turley’s Juvenile cuvée is made from grapes sourced from young vines of 27 different vineyards. Despite the intense California wildfires of 2020, the wine has a ruby color and an intense nose of red fruits, lavender, and spices. The palate is enjoyable with discreet alcohol despite its 15.2%. The tannins could be better, but for the price, it’s worth it.

   Randi Kochel – October 23, 2022

   A decent wine with acidity, pairs well with food. Best consumed within 3-5 years, has raspberry and rose notes but a light body.

    Brandon Veach – October 26, 2022

    Light body and medium on the dryness. Red fruit blended with black. Predominant strawberry with smooth tannins. Definitely not sweet, but not complex. It says drink me without reservations or second thoughts. Direct and enjoyable.

    Frederick Naples – October 27, 2022

    Straightforward and delicious, this bottle has tighter acidity and tannins this vintage. Bottle age has done it well. Enjoyable with pizza and ready to drink now.

    Thomas Smith – November 5, 2022

    Soft tannins, ripe fruit, and a pleasant amount of alcohol make for a thoughtful Zinfandel with just a touch more acid desired.

    Michelle Smith – November 12, 2022

    Firmer/tighter than expected. This has a lot of structure and was wound a bit tight. First bottle opened from the vintage and think it can age longer than most Juveniles. Mixed red and black fruits, sappy, tannins in the background. Think this has a bit of upside ahead.

    Michael Gonzales – November 21, 2022

    Raspberry and cranberry notes lead the way, with nicely integrated oak and hints of bramble weaving in. 15.2%, but there’s an elegance here that belies the alcohol. Solid QPR.

    Turley is a great cold weather wine with a lot of fruit and unexpected dryness on the finish. At $20 direct before tax and shipping, it’s a great value. Buy by the case!

    Tiffany Wilkerson – April 9, 2023

    The zin a mix of california “younger” zins but from what I recall young is a relative term for zinfandel and this was 6-25 years of aged plants but there are some Lodi and Alexander valley mixed in with Paso Robles and Napa but the overall ‘feel’ of the wine is darker fruit, very balanced clean cola, black berry and black cherry and not the hotter red fruits other young zins may have. Drinks fine now
