An attractive nose of blackcurrants, dark cherries, plums and a dash of prunes as well. Full body with creamy tannins and texture. Round and fruity with plenty of blackberry and chocolate in the finish. Better after 2025.

The 2021 Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is a distinguished wine from Turnbull Wine Cellars. This Cabernet Sauvignon, with an alcohol content of 14.8%, hails from California's renowned North Coast region, specifically the Oakville sub-appellation within Napa.

James Suckling, a prominent wine critic, awarded this wine a score of 92. He describes it as having "an attractive nose of blackcurrants, dark cherries, plums and a dash of prunes." He notes its "full body with creamy tannins and texture," emphasizing its "round and fruity" character, with "plenty of blackberry and chocolate in the finish." Suckling suggests that it will be even better after 2025, indicating its potential for aging (jamessuckling.com, 12/21/2023).

Jeb Dunnuck provided an excellent review, scoring it 94 points. He praises the wine as a "killer value" and commends its bouquet of "ripe black fruits, roasted herbs, chocolate, and some spicy wood." Dunnuck highlights its "full-bodied" nature, "fine tannins," and "glossy, layered texture," noting its "outstanding length." He acknowledges its modern edge but assures that it is "impeccably made." Dunnuck recommends enjoying this wine over the next decade (jebdunnuck.com, 12/26/2023).

Vinous, with Antonio Galloni as the reviewer, gave the wine a score of 91. Galloni describes it as "supple, open-knit and very easy to like," with flavors of "succulent dark cherry, plum, leather, spice, and mocha." He remarks on its "attractive, easygoing" nature and mentions that it is "one of the riper, racier wines in the range," noting the high percentage of fruit from Amoenus and the slightly higher use of new oak (Vinous, 12/21/2023).

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, represented by Joe Czerwinski, also rated the wine 92 points. Czerwinski comments on Turnbull's consistent quality, stating that the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is "not only excellent, but it also represents a great value." He detects "hints of cedar and vanilla" accenting "cassis and black cherries on the nose," with a "full-bodied palate" that is "plush up front, then turns firmer on the lingering finish" (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 12/30/2023).

Overall, the 2021 Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon Napa is highly regarded by critics for its rich flavors, excellent structure, and value, making it a notable choice for Cabernet Sauvignon enthusiasts.
