| Description: | One of our favorite sub-$50 Napa Cabs has recently released their latest vintage, and this might be one of the best renditions of this wine yet ! Coming from the highly-exalted 2021 vintage, this is a near-perfect year for Napa Valley, with lower yields that resulted in wines that are aromatically rich, full bodied, concentrated in flavor, and perfectly age-worthy. Turnbull is rooted in the culture and history of the Napa Valley, making wine of exceptional quality in Oakville since 1979. At the core of this independently owned business is their estate-grown fruit, which they carefully tend to from dirt to bottle. Turnbull crafts their wines with integrity and without compromise, and the signature is a wine defined by consistency of balance, structure, and depth. It starts with the painstaking process of vinifying lot by lot, tasting and evaluating each fermentation for specific attributes and characteristics. Winemaker Peter Heitz weaves together a narrative of place, tasting through and chalking each barrel one by one to determine the final blends. The Turnbull wines are aged in 100% French Oak barrels and rest in bottle for extended time so that they may be enjoyed as they were intended: upon release and over the long term. This particular bottling of comes from Napa Valley's Calistoga and Oakville Districts. These are two of the more prominent regions of the Napa Valley, and are home to several of the true cult Cabernet producers. Sourced from their acclaimed Amoenus, Fortuna, Leopoldina, and Turnbull Home Vineyards, each vineyard site lends its own voice and signature to the resulting blend. The fingerprint of the famous Amoenus Vineyard shines through in this wine, providing dark cherry tones and mid-palate width; the Fortuna Vineyard fresh red fruits and spice box components; Leopoldina Vineyard provides structure, texture, and dense black fruit; Our Home Vineyard, which surrounds our historic winery, brings fresh red fruit and focus. Aromatics of Bing Cherries, red cassis, and dusty blackberries lead to up-drifts of pepper and spice box. Silky black tea tannins and dimpled texture flow with linear movement across the mid-palate, highlighting freshness and brightness amidst a rich and dense dark fruit core. A quintessential dirt-to-bottle wine that highlights the best of Napa Valley. |
