Turnbull’s tasting room is right on 29, the main road in Napa – amongst the likes of Mondavi and Beringer. It is definitely more intimate, and their wines are fabulous! I tried the Old Bull blend a few years ago and remembered the price point so I stopped in with friends to try their Viognier and the 2009 Old Bull. The Old Bull is a blend of Cabernet Sauv, Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. And it smells BIG. This wine is big, bold and out there. Berries dominate, but I also smell some cocoa and mocha. The big bold berry theme continues on the midpalate and the finish. I opened this bottle with my friend Erin and she was also a huge fan… we both agreed it is perfect with BBQ! And it is not just because there is a bull on the label :-)
