Tasting Notes
2025 winter release
2023 Turley “estate” cabernet sauvignon, Napa Valley
Certified organic, single vineyard 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from our home in St. Helena, the heart of Napa Valley. Deeply saturated in color, the Estate offers evocative aromatics of purple and red fruits like blackberries and currants alongside soft hints of savory earth. As always, this wine overdelivers on the palate: supple and velvety, with lovely well-integrated tannin and a long, satiating finish. Expressive, warm and inviting, an easy choice for a cozy evening in. “Silky tannins and floral overtones grace the expressive finish.” –Antonio Galloni
91-93 points Vinous
2023 Turley “Hayne Vineyard” cabernet sauvignon, Napa Valley
The premier Cabernet Sauvignon from the most renowned site in Turley’s portfolio makes its debut in an exceptional vintage. There are no better words to describe the pedigree of this wine than those of the acclaimed Antonio Galloni, who gave it 95-98 points: “The new Hayne Cabernet Sauvignon is truly special…Bright and beautifully delineated, the 2023 is impossibly elegant and impossibly refined. Silky tannins, bright aromatics and vibrant red-toned fruit take shape in an articulate, truly mind-blowing Cabernet Sauvignon.” Whether you’re a classic fine wine lover or a Napa Cabernet connoisseur, the Hayne is sure to astound at any table. Delicious now and will age beautifully for many years to come.

2023 Turley “Montecillo Vineyard” cabernet sauvignon, Sonoma Valley
Pure, old vine, dry-farmed Cabernet Sauvignon from an esteemed site on Moon Mountain. Bright and cool blue fruits coupled with high-toned spice and savory herbs de Provence on the nose, but the real stunner here is the texture. Unctuous, palate-coating tannin that is so smooth, it tastes the way looking at a perfectly calm, glassy lake surface feels. “Chalk, white pepper, orange peel, sage, mint and bright, red-toned fruit are all finely sketched. Loke so many wines in this vintage, the 2023 is defined by its polished tannins.” –Antonio Galloni
94-96 points Vinous
2023 Turley “dragon Vineyard” cabernet sauvignon, howell mountain
Certified organic and planted at 2,250 feet, in 2023 this wine is an absolute knockout. Fragrant, multi-layered nose of graphite, wild berries, roasted meats, ink, and volcanic rock, this wine is the essence of the hallowed ground that is Howell Mountain. Savory and utterly mouth-watering, the wine is dynamic on the palate, revealing endless new facets as it opens up in the glass. Decant, sit back, and enjoy the journey. You’re in for a wildly phenomenal ride. “Dramatic, beautifully structured Cabernet Sauvignon.” –Antonio Galloni
