Turley - Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2022

Turley Wine Cellars was founded in Napa Valley by former emergency room physician Larry Turley in 1993. Under the direction of winemaker Tegan Passalacqua, Turley now makes 50 different wines from over 50 vineyards across California, primarily Zinfandel and Petite Syrah, with many vines dating back to the late 1800s. By farming organically and focusing on old vine vineyards of these varieties, Turley aims to both create and preserve California’s unique winemaking culture.

Certified organic, single vineyard, pure Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon--not a statement that can be made by many! Planted in 1989 on the volcanic and alluvial soils found in northern Napa Valley, this vineyard forms the eastern border of the Turley estate and is framed on two sides by ancient, majestic oak trees and a 150-year-old olive grove.

18 months in barrel, 60% used oak, 40% new; 100% French oak.

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Turley Estate Vineyard is expressive and light on its feet, opening with classic and alluring scents of charred cedar, pipe tobacco, tomato leaf, violet, dried bay leaves and turned earth floating above a core of pure black and red fruits. The palate is suave, generous and full-bodied, with no shortage of finely grained tannins and bright, vibrant acidity. The finish is long and laced with delicate spice and earth-driven tones, gaining additional structure and sturdiness with time and becoming more detailed and expressive as it spends time in the glass.” - 94 Points, Wine Advocate

“The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Turley Estate is a potent, savory wine. Incense, wild dried cherry, menthol, licorice, spice, game and cured meat are some of the notes that infuse the 2021 with tremendous character; this brooding, intense Cabernet has a ton of it. This is dense, rich and explosive.” - 92 Points, Vinous
