winemaker peter heitz on the fortuna vineyard
One of Napa Valley’s historic pre-Prohibition vineyards, Fortuna Vineyard was first planted to winegrapes in the 1890s and was acquired by Turnbull over 100 years later. Located at the base of the famed Oakville Bench, Fortuna neighbors some of the region’s most revered vineyards. Our warmest site, with some vines nearing 40 years in age, Fortuna consistently produces some of our most exceptional grapes yielding wines with lush and alluring red fruit flavors, abundant tea and spice layers, and a dynamic, driving focus. Crafted as a block and barrel selection of our finest wines from the vineyard, our Fortuna Cabernet is one of our most coveted wines years after year.
praise for 2017 fortuna vineyard cabernet sauvignon
“The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard captures all the best qualities of this site. Ripe, flashy and opulent to the core, the 2017 is a fabulous example of Oakville Cabernet. Super-ripe red cherry, plum, rose petal, mint and spice are some of the many notes that emerge from the glass.”

praise for 2018 fortuna vineyard cabernet sauvignon
“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard offers a terrific sense of minerality in its deep black and blue fruits as well as classic Cabernet notes of lead pencil, violets, unsmoked tobacco, cedar, and bouquet garni. A riveting, deep, full-bodied 2018, it has wonderful purity of fruit, a stacked mid-palate, silky tannins, and a great, great finish. This is a total gem of a wine.”

praise for 2019 fortuna vineyard cabernet sauvignon
“Classic aromas of blackcurrant, black plum, violets and a hint of black olive. Medium-full with excellent concentration; rich, layered mid-palate with abundant young fruit. There is very good acidity, nicely integrated oak, medium-full, velvety tannins and excellent persistence; there are notes of cassis and dark chocolate in the lengthy finish. This is a very well-made, young Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that beautifully shows off the best qualities of Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, with its lush fruit and notable structure.
