Winemaker's Tasting Notes: This wine is pure, organic, single-vineyard estate Cabernet Sauvignon—not a statement that can be made by many! Much darker in the glass than previous vintages, the ‘13 draws you in, with aromas of dark fruit, smoked meats, and garrigue. The sumptuous palate is full of cassis, dark cherries, flowers, and savory herbs, rounded out by well-tuned, fine-grained tannins. This, along with its medium body and great structure, means the wine will age even better than its predecessors—and is also imminently enjoyable with a quick decant! The ’13 Turley Estate is true Cabernet Sauvignon, fascinating and incredibly satisfying to boot.
