Note di degustazione
Mending Wall's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Tournahu Vineyard is an attractive wine done in a mid-weight style within the context of the vintage. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, mint and sweet spice notes add complexity throughout. The Tournahu is a decidedly restrained wine for the year. I would prefer to drink this plush, sumptuous Cabernet on the earlier side.

An addition to the range, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Tournahu Vineyard emerges from a site on the northern side of St. Helena, where the wines tend to be rich, powerful and voluptuous. That is exactly what comes through here. The 2015 is a bit raw and unformed right now, but there is tons of potential here.
The 2015s look strong, with the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Tournahu Vineyard coming from the Napa Valley floor not far from Vineyard 29's Aida Vineyard and the Panek Vineyard, from which Thomas Rivers Brown also makes wine. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a small, 6-acre parcel. This wine looks sensational with loads of wet gravel and a hint of underbrush, but dominated by its blackberry and cassis fruit as well as an earthy, peppery, meaty personality. It is full-bodied, dense and should drink beautifully for the next 20-25 years.
