March 5, 2023 - Improved a bit since my last bottle in 2020. Plenty dark fruits, mild mid level acidity and smooth finish. Good but not extraordinary.
July 10, 2022 - Really enjoyed. In a perfect drinking window.
February 22, 2022 - Outstanding showing. Ripe dark fruit, fresh herbs, conifer, licorice, and Bay leaf bouquet. Perfectly balanced, beautifully resolved, with remnants of a ripe tannic structure that frames black raspberries, dark cherries, and a savory, minerally undercurrent. Culminates with a kiss of bottle-age complexity on the lovely finish.
February 20, 2022 - still awesome. great cab maybe not as concentrated or nuanced as the single vineyard Turnbull offerings but still great cab
October 1, 2021 - Slow ox for three hours and consumed over the following two. Nose was a little subdued throughout the evening. The flavor profile was basically one dimensional with a strong dark cherry licorice element. Tannins were tame, low acidity; drinkable, but far from expected from this producer. Chalk this one up to bottle variance.
August 23, 2021 - Nice wine.
December 16, 2020 - I agree with other notes to say that it is good but nothing great or distinctive. Full body, heavy mouth feel with dark fruit that is somewhat muted behind the weight. Aeration helped some but not enough to make a big difference. Some years have found it to be more balanced and quite delicious. The 2014 does not hit that level but a decent wine nonetheless.
April 20, 2020 - Decent cab that does nothing wrong but nothing great either..
No tasting notes so that says something.....
April 11, 2019 - Nice big Napa Cab. Hold for complexity to develop.
December 9, 2018 - I like Turnbull’s style, these wines are meant to age. I’ll revisit in a couple of years. Complex and structured: Dark chocolate, cassis, mint and cocoa notes with a decent finish. I expect this wine to improve substantially.
