Turnbull "Estate" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Turnbull "Estate" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
This is a terrific value, and fantastic for a lover of "heavy hitter" Cabernet. Turnbull sources this Estate bottling from three of their vineyards in Oakville, a region that is synonymous with expensive, age-worthy, built-to-last Cabernet Sauvignon. There is so much concentration and power here, this outperforms many Cabs twice the price.
Critical Acclaim
A sold and structured cabernet with blackberries, blueberries, currants and some walnuts. Full-bodied with firm, fine tannins and a long finish. Very attractive now, but it will age nicely.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the Cabernet Sauvignon gives up earthy notes of charcoal, damp earth and wild fungi over a cassis and Black Forest cake core, plus a touch of dried herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with black fruits, supported by a grainy texture and finishing fruity.
