Description
Lifted and fresh red berries sweep upward with buoyancy, bringing forth darker layers of crème de cassis, camphor, and black cherries-all wonderfully nestled in a sublime and subtle French Oak infusion. The precision and sheerpower of the 2019 Vintage is on wonderful parade here. Silky tannins, glorious depth of fruit, and racing dynamic tension fulfill the finish in a way that captures all the initial thrill (and then some).

Cellar Selection. From a pair of vineyards in the appellation, this wine is earthy in tobacco, sage and black currant. With admirable length and breadth, it features rich berry fruit adorned in a touch of molasses, dried herb and oak, deliciously built for the long haul. Enjoy best from 2029 to 2039.

Delivers a lovely burst of pure, unadulterated cassis and cherry puree, with hints of violet, singed vanilla, loam and anise. A subtly inlaid graphite spine carries the finish. Beautifully proportioned. Accessible now, but there’s no rush at all. Drink now through 2036. 1,492 cases made.

A killer value that’s up with the best at the price point, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Reserve offers medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of currants, plums, chocolate, iron, and a touch of tobacco. Nicely concentrated, beautifully balanced, and elegant, it’s a terrific wine well worth seeking out. Drink bottles over the coming 10-12 years or so.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Reserve is packed with black cherry, plum, spice, new leather and licorice. Soft curves and plush fruit give the 2019 its succulent, resonant personality. This generous, plush Oakville Cabernet fromTurnbull is a winner. Give it a year or two in bottle first.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Reserve gallops out of the glass with earthy notes of tar, tobacco leaf and fertile loam over a core of warm cassis and mulberries, with a waft of licorice. Medium to full-bodied, firm and sturdy in the mouth, it offers just enough freshness and a savory finish.
