Turnbull Wine Cellars

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

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

Sleek and shimmering, with tantalizing layers of wild strawberries, pomegranate, green apple, and savory brioche, this ebullient Sparkling Wine sets the scene for any occasion.

"...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.

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

"...revealing the essence of vintage, vineyard, and variety with no apologies for the ripeness and richness that the Napa Valley can offer.” —Gregory dal Piaz, Simply Better Wines. 

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

"...nicely balanced and medium to full-bodied, with the vintage’s more focused, straight style, it should benefit from just a few years in the cellar and have 15 years of overall longevity.” —Jeb Dunnuck,  JebDunnuck.com. 93 Points.

"...marked by great freshness and verve, tart black cherries and a touch of cassis on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, streamlined and remarkably elegant." —Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate. 93 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.
