Vinous:

“The 2020 Zinfandel Juvenile is bright, floral and nicely lifted, all of which make it a charming wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, lavender and sweet spice give this mid-weight, young-vines Zinfandel tons of sheer appeal, although there is some edginess in the tannin. Production is down by about 50%.” (AG) (1/2022)

Producer Notes: "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 younger vines then pick them separately and make a distinct wine. Juvenile vines range in age from about 6-25 years, and we pull from a selection of our best vineyards across California. Tasting

Notes: Plenty of satiating spiced plum, blood orange, and stone fruits, with grippy tannins and well-balanced acidity. Eminently drinkable now owing to the classic Juvenile texture. Plus, with this vintage of Juvenile we introduced new corks that essentially eliminate TCA! What an absolutely gorgeous knockout of a wine for this price."
