Turnbull’s Leopoldina Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is quite approachable now, with a juicy midpalate, bright varietally correct fruit well and folded bell pepper that are nicely elevated by careful use of oak, which gives backbone and flavor tension while extending the finish. This will go long, but it will also work today with a couple of hours in the decanter. Winemaker Peter Heitz is rockin’ it at Turnbull!
