A gift from a customer of mine! Thanks!
Number 46 on Wine Spectator's Top 100!

Turley Zinfandel California Juvenile 2012 -
Sleek, ripe and youthful, offering jammy raspberry aromas and flavors, with zesty notes of smoky spice and grilled anise. Drink now through 2019. 10,000 cases made. —TF

Very tasty zin, not overly sweet, just right amount of ripe fruit.

Have been on a bit of a Turley Zin stroll over the weekend (this being my 5th) and think I prefer them on the younger side.

I can't recommend "Juvenile" enough.
At $20 this is a fantastic QPR that should be purchased by the case!

A great QPR.
Along with Quilceda Creek CVR this is one that always take up a lot of room in my cellar.

Another round with this house favorite.
Perhaps a tad below my last encounter and showing a bit of heat but this was also pnp'ed (pop-and-pour) at room temperature so probably my bad.
That aside this is a SOLID QPR...and I'm always a fan!!
