Turnbull Wine Cellars
Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Solid Napa cab at a reasonable price. The rich, bold bouquet seems more youthful than the wine's age (8), and the vibrant black currant and licorice on the palate are backed by moderate tannins. Lots of sediment on this one.

Tastes like $60 and never disappoints with great fruit, integrated tannins, smooth finish and with lamb lolly pops a great Wednesday night. A nice treat while spending the day packing wine, I never want to move again. Only case left, glad I went deep on 2010.

Time to check in on this 07. There's more evolution than one might expect for this 07. Although, I am one of those people that believed the 07 vintage will age but not as long as most believe. Ripe, ruby blue fruits leap onto the palate followed by blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, dark chocolate powder, still a fair amount of vanilla, cinnamon, dry black earth, perfumed violets, dry roses, black cherry licorice, crushed dry volcanic rocks, underbrush, black tea, touch of lead pencil, dry tobacco leaf & touch herbaceous. The tannins nicely resolved to fine dust. Good acidity. Still some good tension, nice length and definitely a good balance of minerals & fruit. The finish runs juicy fruits to dusty dry tannins. Will improve for another 5-7years and hold good drinking status another 5 years. Great value wine. I'm not positive but think I paid around $25 for it.

Opened too soon... still very tannic, I'm sure it will improve with time. Day 2, red fruits and graphite... beautiful Cabernet.
