Turnbull, Oakville – Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

 I will admit to never having seen a Cabernet Sauvignon that would admit to 4% Lagrein in the mix, and I am curious about the choice in a wine that was picked a little early due to concerns over labor due to the COVID pandemic.  I would normally guess the Lagrein would lend a little acid bump, but that seems unlikely with the early pick.  Whatever the case, this wine is delicious, showing the classic Napa Valley profile with length and power.  It’s approachable now, and age-worthy as well.  Keep in mind that there won’t be many 2020 cellar trophies from the vintage, and this bottle qualifies.
