Turnbull Wine Cellars

“This wine gives me goosebumps—in the best way.” -Peter Heitz, Winemaker.

After many months of thoughtful collaboration with our partners and friends, we're thrilled to finally present our debut non-vintage Sparkling Wine.

Featuring Syrah (60%), Lagrein (35%), and, for the first time ever, Grenache (5%)—one of our latest vineyard plantings on our Amoenus Vineyard, and the secret sauce to this beauty

A Cabernet Franc in its purest form, and everything we seek in this understated varietal.

"The 2021 is a blend of the three Merlot blocks at Fortuna. It’s very good and quite distinctive.” —Antonio Galloni, Vinous. 91 Points.

"...perfectly balanced, has full-bodied richness, and tons of character. Drink bottles anytime over the coming 15 years.” —Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com. 96 Points.
 

"...There's tremendous substance and voluptuousness in the 2021. Admirably, the tannins are exceptionally well-balanced for a young Calistoga Cabernet.” —Antonio Galloni, Vinous. 97 Points. 

“Another jaw dropping good release, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard comes from a site in Oakville and it’s loaded with ripe black fruits, black olive, graphite, and smoked herb like aromas and flavors...I love it.”  —Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com. 97+ Points. 

"...It’s another killer wine from this team and it competes with wines 2-3 times its price." —Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com. 96+ Points. 

“Stunning stuff, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label offers a full-bodied, deep, majestic style.." —Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com. 97+ Points.

A rare gem from the cellar makes its limited return, challenging everything you thought a Port-style wine could be, and offering an alternative (and delicious) look into our estate winemaking.
