Pure cassis, violets, black fruits, and scorched earth notes emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label, with plum and dark chocolate adding complexity. Full-bodied, round, and voluptuous on the palate, with remarkable purity and sweet fruit, this big, rich, opulent effort will evolve for 12-15 years.

The 2022 Turnbull BLACK LABEL CABERNET SAUVIGNON OAKVILLE shows a deep ruby, purple hue with fragrant spice notes and excellent, persistent aromas; full-bodied, lacy, and voluptuous on the palate; dry, with lovely balance and beautifully ripe tannins; rich blackberry and licorice flavors are complemented by well-integrated oak; finishing long, firm, and structured. Paired with a dry-aged bone-in ribeye, seared to a charred crust and basted with garlic and rosemary, the wine’s depth and structure rise to meet the intensity of the beef, while its ripe tannins soften against the rich marbling—resulting in a bold, layered, and deeply satisfying pairing that speaks to power, polish, and precision. 

Deeply scented, with complex aromas of mulberries, mocha and cassia bark. The palate is full-bodied with seamless tannins and acidity, showing generous notes of tobacco, licorice and graphite. Wonderfully balanced and giving. Drink or hold.

A selection of the winery's best lots, normally from the Leopoldina and Fortuna Vineyards, Turnbull's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label offers up seductive scents of ripe black cherries, powdered sugar, loam and mocha. It's full-bodied, soft and expansive in the mouth, but it doesn't have the structure and textural richness of the last four years or so, finishing long and mouthwatering. It's still an excellent wine but perhaps one to drink on the younger side.

The 2022 Black Label is a captivating expression of this powerful yet rewarding vintage. Its irresistible bouquet of dark forest floor, ripe plums, and black cherries beckon the nose, inviting you to explore its depths. On the palate, juicy dark fruits unfold with balance and restraint, as fine, dimpled tannins drive with power, simultaneously lending structure through the dynamic finish while highlighting this wine's inherent grace.
