Wow. An incredible wine. it is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, California. Inky purple in color, opaque and shimmering bright. The nose is great with cassis, graphite, cedar, blueberries, spices and dark chocolate. Full bodied. Firm tannins. This is young but starting to develop nicely. Great balance and energy. On the palate, flavors of cassis, blueberries, chocolate, char and slight cigar. Long finish. Complex and layered, it opens quickly in the glass. This will continue to evolve but is a masterpiece right now. Drink over the next twenty to thirty years.

When Turnbull launched in 1979 it was with the goal of producing excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. Of course, at the time there was a lot of excellent Cabernet in the market. But as many Napa Cabernets chose to make enormous and heavy-handed wines, Turnbull chose a different direction. The craftsmanship of this is an homage to Old-School Napa Cabernet - those wines not often made anymore that truly prized the plot of land and extolled the fruit over the use of high brix and lots of oak. So if you want to taste Cabernet the way it used to be, this will complement any occasion.

This is their base Cabernet.  It is purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, graphite, slight saw dust, vanilla and spice.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Good acidity.  Concentrated.  On the palate, intense cassis, leather, earth, spice and char.  Long finish.  This is young but drinking very well but will improve.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  Great on its own, this would be classic with a steak.
