Founded in 1979, Turnbull Wine Cellars is an emblematic establishment nestled in the heart of Napa Valley’s Oakville region. Initiated as a fervent endeavor by the esteemed architect William Turnbull and his partner, this winery has, over the decades, evolved into one of Napa’s most distinguished vineyards. From its inception, Turnbull has championed an unwavering respect for nature. Their dedication is evident in their organic farming methods, stringent avoidance of pesticides, and judicious water usage, ensuring that the vineyards remain robust and flourishing for generations to come.
A defining principle of Turnbull’s winemaking is minimal intervention. By letting the grapes articulate their own story, they encapsulate the quintessence of Oakville in each pour. This philosophy shines brightly in their Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2012. A wine that emanates depth, elegance, and enduring charm, it stands as a vivid testament to Turnbull’s pursuit of perfection. This particular vintage benefited immensely from Mother Nature’s favor. 2012 bestowed Napa Valley with optimal weather conditions, ensuring grapes achieved perfect ripeness and a palette of intense flavours. Whether savored now or aged, this wine underscores Turnbull’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
