Winemaker Notes
Our 2007 Napa Valley Black Label Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from our top Estate Vineyards: Leopoldina, Amoenus and Fortuna. Restrictive volcanic soils, both red clay and white tufa types, yield a wine that is deeply concentrated, with rich minerality. This wine is characterized by aromas and deep flavors of dark fruits--black cherry, cassis and sun ripened blackberries--and balanced by a dense layer of sweet chocolate and roasted coffee. This is a wine of power and finesse--full bodied yet supple--approachable in its youth but capable of extended bottle age.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Perhaps the best wine I have ever tasted from Turnbull is the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label. An absolutely compelling example of Cabernet Sauvignon, with blueberry, blackberry, cassis, licorice, camphor, and graphite, this wine is intense and full-bodied, with sweet tannin, layers of concentration, a multi-dimensional personality, and a terrific finish of close to 45 seconds. This wine will be better in 5-6 years but will last 25 or more.

Wine Spectator
This is certainly among the finest Turnbull Cabernets I’ve had, offering a mix of deep, profound blueberry and blackberry flavors, with lead pencil and graphite, yet for all its torque and thrust, there’s a measure of textural finesse and detail. Best from 2013 through 2024.
