1999 Turnbull Wine Cellars Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

 

Absolutely delicious Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon.  Tannins have melted and the fruit has aged perfectly. Plush cassis inflected palate with lengthy hedonistic finish. Sourced from the following vineyards:

• Fortuna Vineyard (Oakville valley floor)
• Leopoldina Vineyard (hillside above Oakville)
• Home Vineyard (near the winery)

These sites span:
- Valley floor alluvial soils (richer, plush fruit)
- Volcanic hillside soils (structure, minerality, tannin)
