The wine is Turnbull 2013 cabernet sauvignon from my favorite region: Napa Valley , Oakville, California. Just north of Opus One and Robert Mondavi - highway 29 baby! The cork was perfect. The color is purple and black with no trace of any brown. No I do not like ancient wines that turn brown. After last nights experience, I need this napa cab! The bouquet is ripe figs blowing in the wind with a hint of blackberry jam and a hint of an unlit maduro cigar. The legs are thick, slow, and long. The initial palate is blackberry , blueberry, and figs with a tart finish that is ever so long. I have not decanted long enough because I could not wait to try it. There is a hint of spice but more oak and leather on the finish. it is very dry and leaves me thirsty for more or a blast of water then more of this delicious wine from Turnbull winery, where they grow them and bottle them!
Dang I need to get back to California! Buy this one, you cant go wrong! — 9 years ago

From Lazio, carbonic #aleatico (a grape I've never heard of but Wikipedia tells me we grow some in Mudgee! Perhaps at di Lusso?), the wine is extremely inviting, one of those wines you can enjoy 100% by the aroma alone, flowers and herbs, wonderful! It is bursting with life, plums, olives, very pretty and utterly smashable. — 9 years ago

Very good with room to grow still, raspberries and dark chocolate, holds up with the best of France, a real one percent...the brother man from the mother land, if you will...this is the Shaft of California cabs — 10 years ago

Crisp with a finish that cuts out suddenly. A wine that forces you to grow up. — 11 years ago

Went very well with some smoked cheese and prosciutto. The cherry flavor was prevalent with the silky tannins went perfect with this snack. When I cleansed my palate with some chocolate I tasted a little plum sweetness on the back end. Great win with room to grow.. — 9 years ago

Beautiful and intriguing wine from off the coast of France, below Muscadet, where the vines grow mere inches off the ground from the brutal winds, and the soil is all schist rock.  Dark cherries, tons of mineral notes, and also some wild game. Extremely taut acidity.  — 10 years ago

Solomon hills vineyard is worth watching for both Chard and Pinot. I believe they grow some Syrah too. — 9 years ago

First time having a big name Bordeaux from the 80's. A powerhouse of black fruits with so much earth that you could plant seeds in the glass and they'd probably grow. Cedar, pipe tobacco, a touch of eucalyptus and a bit of pepper. Aging well, very well balanced, and it could be its own course at dinner. — 9 years ago

An all time fav. Vines grow up to the cliff overlooking the ocean. Can taste the shist and salt. Delicate ethereal wine. Maybe a muscadet? — 10 years ago

Green and stemmy with exotic oak spices. Cardamom and garam masala. Damp wet barrel. Good balance! Complex and well integrated. A complete surprise that this wine is 8 years old. Lots of room to grow and open. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup — 10 years ago
