Expert Reviews

Wine.comYear in and year out, one of Napa Valley's most respected Cabs, offering both pedigree and tremendous value. With the release of vintage 2001, we celebrate the inclusion of fruit from our new vineyard in Calistoga. Situated at the extreme north end of the Napa Valley and nestled against the western hills, the moderating influence of cooler air from the neighboring Russian River Valley allows these grapes to ripen slowly and fully. Turning heads wherever it goes. Estate Vineyard Sources: 92% Estate Grown, Oakville, Napa Valley; 8% Turnbull owned and farmed vineyards, Calistoga, Napa Valley
