Excellent. Still a very big wine but opens wonderful. Real treat! — 8 months ago
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short purplish rim.
On the nose blackberries, black cherries, earth, black plums, cedar leather, vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity, with blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates tobacco, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up.
This 6 year old is still young, but already very enjoyable. From the great 2016 vintage, and it is showing.
As it opens up (two hours), more complexity and structure come in, well worth being patient. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

What an elegant wine. The deft integration of all the wines component pieces in its overall sense of equilibrium was near perfect. And it tasted 🤤 yummy.  — 4 years ago
Decanted for 90 mins and was impressed. Depth of the second half of the bottle after 24 hours was even more impressive. Big range on this. Dark rich fruits and the lead is the nose as others have said. I’ll be back (yes! I wrote that before realizing what I was writing). My first experience with a Turnbull was a success. — 6 years ago
Very very impressive ! Superior and different from most Napa red blends. Subtle notes of chocolate and dark fruits, gentle acidity that wrap a sweet and sour delicious package! — 9 years ago
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Pretty nose of blackberries, black currants, cedar, herbs, light earth, wild flowers, light vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, sweet cherries, chocolates, coffee, cedar, vanilla, spices, light licorice and peppercorn.
Long finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 4-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from the problematic 2020 vintage in Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Spicy, fruit forward and entertaining.
Good right out of the bottle and gets more complex as it opens up. I decanted it for 2 hours. Gets earthier after 4 hours in the decanter.
Soft and elegant with a tangy finish. Complex, with a nice mouthfeel. This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is Delicious.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. Has good potential to become a 93+ point wine. I had the 2013 before, and loved it too.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like a nice piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 24 months.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2013 “Au Paradis” pours a deep ruby with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears and some signs of light sediment. On the nose, developing the wine is developing with notes of brambles, plums, tobacco, some leather and woody notes, vanilla and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and the texture is pretty plush. To my palate, pretty much a fastball right down the middle of the plate and not quite as intriguing as the “Les Pavots” from the same vintage. Drink now with some patience and through 2038. — 9 months ago
Delicious, full bodied but not overpowering. Complimented my filet meal.
Highly recommend — 5 years ago
Low Fruit, vines grown on volcanic soil. Almost has a beautiful ash or smoke quality emerging from it, this is a wine that should age for a while, tannins are nice and exposed. — 9 years ago
