| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.2 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AGELVIS on 4/10/2023 & rated 95 points: Three and a half hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Currant and blackberry are prominent. Smooth, very dry, full bodied palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish. 75% Leopoldina and 25% Fortuna fruit.
My score is just a placeholder. This needs another year or two in the cellar AND a long decant. It’s drinking very tight right now. (2237 views) | | | Tasted by AGELVIS on 1/15/2022 & rated 97 points: Menu decanted. Very very deep electric magenta color. Crushed sea shells, mulberry, violet, creme de cassis, and subtle spearmint on the nose. Super tongue drying palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
This rating is based on the huge potential here. This needs another year (at least) and a good, long decant. (3624 views) | | | Tasted by Sfflyer123 on 10/6/2021 & rated 93 points: Popped and poured. Immediately, the tannins are very soft an approachable for such a young wine. Big blue fruit, ready to drink now. Very nice and pleasant. Better than an average Napa cab. If you can wait a few more years, it should be better. 93 pts. (3021 views) |

| Turnbull Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Oakville |
