Nothing better than good ol’ Zinfandel when one’s fancy turns to spring-summer grillin.’  When it comes to Zinfandel, there’s one that stands head and shoulders over all the others when it comes to curing what ails you.  Turley Cellars!  Turley, of course, raised what was a pretty low bar for Zinfandel when it first burst on the scene in the mid-1990s; a time when we had to ask customers whether or not they meant red Zin when they ordered. The Turley style emphasized ripe fruit, elevated levels of alcohol and, above all, gorgeous texture.  Most importantly, Turley established a home for the grapes of some of America’s oldest and most endangered Zinfandel vineyards, over the decades creating a stable of old sites throughout California that would hold them in great stead.  While best-known for their single-vineyard offerings, it was Larry Turley and then-winemaker Ehren Jordan who emphasized two cuvees that blended the characters of all of the vineyards with which they worked- the Juvenile that uses the younger vines and the California Old Vines that focused on the older.  The former is a bright, lilting (lilting for Zin, that is) wine focused on fruit; while not as massive as the Old Vines, it’s no shrinking violet and brings plenty of its own horsepower to the party!  Our paltry allocation has arrived!  Limit six bottles per customer, please.
