Note di degustazione
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Pierra emerges from a single parcel of densely planted meter by meter vines on a 45 degree slope at the top of Turnbull's Leopoldina Vineyard. Dense, plush and inviting, the 2016 possesses tremendous depth and textural richness in every dimension. Even with all of its intensity, the Pierra retains considerable detail and nuance. The hillside vineyards in Eastern Oakville are some of the best spots for growing Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa Valley, as the Pierra (and other wines in this range) make abundantly clear.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Pierra is a little broody to begin, unfurling to reveal gorgeous Black Forest cake, warm cassis, dried mulberries and preserved plums scents with touches of Indian spices, lavender, black olives, unsmoked cigars and fertile loam plus a waft of cardamom. The full-bodied palate packs in the black fruit and exotic spice layers, framed by very firm, very ripe tannins and finishing on a compelling earthy note.
