First vintage of Cabernet for Turtle rock. Fruit was sourced from a Westside vineyard (exact location to follow). 2022 (n barrel) and futures vintages to be from the famed G2 vineyard. This is classic Paso Cabernet, with great structure and a sea of cassis, graphite and tight tannins. This beauty will becoming around with 5-7 years.
This Block Six is still racy. Just enough Northern Rhône barnyard to get my interest. Loads of Purisima black fruit. Still very dark Garney and no sign of any brickiness. A real gem. It’s got 6-10 more years (or more) Powdery Tanins.
