2006 Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon
92pts (CGW)12% Syrah; 5% Cabernet Franc; 3% Malbec; and 2% other. Over the last
several vintages, Turnbull has impressed with its very well-made and
comparatively affordable Cabernets. It hits the very same marks once
again in 2006, and wins applause for its deep fruit, fine focus and
classic structure. Its ample oak is always subordinate to elements of
cassis and ripe cherries, and its integral tannins provide solid
varietal spice without being too tough or abrasive. It overall sense of
proportion and balance are just what we look for in ageworthy wines,
and what is good here will get only better over the next five to ten
years.Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine Volume 34 Issue 2: December 2009
90pts(WE) Grown on the estate
in Oakville, this is a very tannic Cabernet. It’s almost old-fashioned,
a dark, full-bodied wine with earthy-herbal notes and a hard,
astringent finish. There are complex flavors of blackberries, mocha,
licorice, allspice, cloves, violets and cedar. Could do interesting
things beyond 2011.
- S.H. (2/1/2010)
Intense, earthy and full-bodied, yet trim and compact, with tight herb,
dried currant and dark fruit flavors, gaining depth and complexity but
still very closed. Best from 2010 through 2016. 16,000 cases made. –JL This is a california wine.
