2020 | Turnbull Wine Cellars | Oakville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Black figs, Bing cherries, and cedar waft out of the glass, beguiling the nose. Dollops of fresh raspberries, spiced plums, blackberries, and dried star anise pirouette along the palate with vigor and poise, guiding each sip through the dynamic and endless finish. Even in its youth, this wine embodies elegance and opulence effortlessly.

Reviews:

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Reserve reveals more lifted, slightly volatile aromatics of plums, candied violets, and leafy herbs. Uber-ripe and concentrated, with quality tannins, it’s a solid, enjoyable Oakville effort to drink over the coming decade.

• James Suckling: A floral lift to the baked blackberries, with lots of iodine and dried-lychee notes. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, with very silky and seductive tannins that drive the palate to a juicy finish.

Producer Information

Turnbull Wine Cellars is a family-owned producer located in Oakville of Napa Valley, California. Established in 1979 by William Turnbull, the wine portfolio focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards in Oakville and Calistoga. The flagship wine from Turnbull Wine Cellars is the Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon which is sourced from two different vineyards and blended after being vinified seperately. The line of Cabernet Sauvignons includes single-vineyard wines, sourced from vineyards owned by the company. All Cabernet is aged in 100-percent new French oak for an extensive period of time before bottling, making for rich and bold examples of the variety from Napa. In addition to the line of Cabernet, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Verdot and a few red blends are also produced. Turnbull have acquired four vineyard plots over the years. The Fortuna vineyards lies at the base of the Oakville bench with red, volcanic soils, giving the Cabernet Sauvignon dark fruit notes. Leopoldina sits higher up on the Oakville bench, with a rocky volcanic soil that gives fruit more tannins and structure. Meanwhile, the estate vineyard, while also in Oakville, is flat with clay and loam soils, providing a more red fruit profile. The Amoenus vineyard, north in the hills of Calistoga, sits at a higher elevation along the fog line, creating a cooler environment where the fruit has more acidity.
