Turnbull Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Reserve 2022

96 Jeb Dunnuck The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Reserve is softer and more upfront compared to the Black Label, offering a terrific perfume of cassis and black raspberry fruits supported by spicy oak and violets. It too is perfectly balanced, has full-bodied richness, and tons of character.

95 Tasting Panel A combination of two estate vineyards the steep Leopoldina and Fortuna, set on volcanic red soils-contribute to the complexity of this Oakville Cab. A flow of energy consumes the palate with generous notes of blueberry and cassis. The wine exudes restrained power through flavors of violets, graphite, and saddle leather.

95 Wine Spectator Displays showy flavors of boysenberry, blackberry and black currant preserves that stretch out beautifully over a polished structure, while flashes of warm loam, ganache, sweet bay and violet swirl through. Offers all that, plus a sense of freshness through the flamboyant finish. Drink now through 2042. 2,300 cases made.

93 James Suckling A firm and rich cabernet with dark berries, bark, dried leaves, cola and sweet spices on the nose following through to a full body with creamy tannins and texture. Lush and structured with a juicy core of blackberries and cherries at the finish with a spicy touch as well.
