Estimate
From a tiny 6.75-acre vineyard in St. Helena composed of rocky, darker soils, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Tournahu Vineyard is a full-bodied, forward, fleshy, even flamboyant effort that’s loaded with earthy black fruits, tobacco, and chocolate. With moderate tannins, fruit galore, and some Old World, savory, meaty characteristics developing with time in the glass...
...emerges from a parcel of old-vine Clone 7 Cabernet. Deep, layered and sensual, the Tournahu shows all the richness that is typical of Saint Helena's Northern Corridor. Inky blue and purplish berry fruit, licorice, chocolate, menthol and new leather build into the potent finish. Time in the glass brings out a bit of sensuality.
