Based in Templeton, Paso Robles, Turley sources from some of California's oldest head-trained and own-rooted Zinfandel vineyards, some dating to the 1850s, saving them from destruction and producing wines that are irreplaceable expressions of California viticultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Zinfandel is sourced from 18 heritage vineyards across California, producing a wine of energy and genuine character: bright cherry pie, raspberry, and jammy dark berry on the nose, with warm spice, briar, and a zesty, vibrant finish. The wine is full-flavored and expressive without being heavy, a testament to Turley's philosophy that old vines naturally regulate their yield to produce concentrated, balanced fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Juvenile Zinfandel was named #14 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2024, with 93 points.

Today, under winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley produces nearly 30 single-vineyard Zinfandels, each a distinct expression of its source site. The winery is widely considered the standard-bearer for California Zinfandel, earning consistent praise from Wine Spectator, Robert Parker, and Vinous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCalifornia's most celebrated Zin specialist.
