Turnbull Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard 2010
The Winery
Turnbull Cellars
Rooted in the culture and history of the Napa Valley, Turnbull Cellars is a small, multi-generational family business that strives on the principle of sustainability. Turnbull Cellars focuses on small production of Cabernet Sauvignon which is sourced from four estate vineyards throughout the Napa Valley. The estates portfolio is very distinctive and we have an exceptional selection of these quality wines.
Summary
The Turnbull Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard 2010, hailing from California's Oakville region, showcases the estate's commitment to quality and sustainability. This single-vineyard Cabernet is crafted from low-yielding clones and reflects the cooler conditions of the 2010 Napa vintage. With a meticulous hand-picking process and aging of 18-20 months in French oak, this wine delivers an impressive complexity. Tasting notes reveal a rich profile of cassis, graphite, and intense blackberry, paired with subtle hints of cedar and spice. The mouthfeel is luxurious and layered, supported by firm tannins, promising both immediate enjoyment and excellent aging potential.
Tasting Notes
- WS95
- The aromas of dill, cedar, blackberry and black licorice are intense and vivid, becoming richer, fuller and more expansive on the finish, where the flavors linger around a core of firm, gripping tannins. Drink now through 2028.
- WA100
- The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard is perfection! This extraordinary wine offers up notes of creme de cassis, graphite, truffles, blueberries and blackberries as well as a colossal mouthfeel with no sense of heaviness, layer upon layer of fruit and glycerin, astonishing purity and a finish that lasts 50 seconds. A magnificent effort that should turn out to be one of the great modern classics of Napa Valley, it should age effortlessly for two to three decades.
