Tasting notes
Turley's first Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2010 The Label, is a simple, juicy wine loaded with fruit. Black cherries, chocolate, mocha, cloves and spices all jump from the glass in an up-front, fruit-driven wine meant for near-term drinking.

(14.2% alcohol; from 22-year-old organically farmed vines planted next to the Turley property on Highway 29, north of St. Helena): Cassis, black cherry and violet on the nose. Supple, creamy and sweet, with good inner-mouth aromatic quality to the flavors of blackberry, blueberry, licorice pastille and violet. Really berry-driven cabernet but not especially complex. Finishes with edgy, slightly drying tannins and a hint of dark chocolate.
