2013 Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon

Turnbull's 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville, their least expensive wine in this portfolio (that I tasted for this report) is the most forward and precocious of the cuvées and shows what great winemaking and vineyard sources the Turnbulls are dealing with. The color is opaque purple, the wine shows slightly less tannins than its counterparts, with gorgeously intense blueberry and blackberry fruit, cedar wood, forest floor and spice box. It's full-bodied, opulent, rich and, while still young with a good 10 years of upside, this wine will still be drinking great 20 years from now.
