Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus Napa Valley 2009

Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:

Sharp herbal notes and rich earth aromas greet the nose along with dark dried strawberry and black cherry notes. This is a touch softer than Fortuna up front, with lower acids but more tannins. Overall it’s a darker wine with more matte fruit, showing a bit more rustically with cocoa mocha tannins on the long, powerful finish. Today this is more impressive for potential than performance, but the rich core of tannins should smooth out with time, revealing a lovely earthy-edged core of very ripe Cabernet fruit. 92 points

Some eucalyptus on the nose with red and black currant, light smoke and light tar. Charred oak. Sweet fruit and tannin on the palate. Vanilla laced rich red and black berry fruit with currant. Light herbal tinge and bay leaf. Very nice! 91 pts. 5/10/13 at winery
