Turley Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Rare cabernet from Turley                        New Cabernet release from Turley! Limited. New vintage of the Turley Cabernet! The wine has pure, ripe, deeply red Napa Cabernet fruit, rounded out by the savory herbs and garrigue that are the marks of the Estate vineyards. Medium-bodied, with great structure and a solid backbone, which will allow it to age for some time (if you must). However, with its inviting texture and supple, well-integrated tannins, the wine is exceedingly approachable in its youth. 94 Points Antonio Gallloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Turley Estate is medium in body, silky and wonderfully nuanced, with impeccable balance and tons of sheer appeal. Readers can expect a forward, racy Cabernet that will drink well right out of the gate. Bright red-toned fruit mixed with floral overtones linger on the finish.
