2018 Turnbull Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

JD94 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (only 49 barrels produced) gives up impressive blue fruits (cassis, blueberries) to go with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, opulent texture, beautiful mid-palate depth, and classic notes of lead pencil and tobacco. It’s another balanced, impeccably made wine from this team that’s well worth seeking out. It’s up with some of the top values in the vintage.
Estate Notes: Aromatics of lifted red berries and fresh, savory spices dance about a pure core of crème de cassis, black cherry, graphite, and floral tones. This aromatic entry fuses and energizes a rich-toned, beautifully concentrated mid-palate, stirred with sweet tannins and capped with purity and a focusing finish.
