In earlier vintages, Juvenile was one of my favorite Turley zins, despite its lower price point. This vintage is not in the same territory. It's off-putting when first opened, and gets moderately tolerable with an hour or so of oxygen. Disappointing turn in this bottling.

Great, great soft fruit that reminded me of a grenache. Basically, Zin that is not "jammy". I think that the Juvenile is one of my favorite Turley Zins as it is much more subtle and graceful than other zins.

Still takes 30-60 minutes to balance out the vibrancy and fruit. Mulled plum, nutmeg. Gamey and leathery notes. Strikes me as a bit removed from past Juvenile bottlings.

I get that this is their entry level, but I've had much better from WA at this price point. I like their Old Vines better in this range.
