This homage to a kinder, gentler time in Napa Cabernet comes from a 2009 add-on to Larry Turley's holdings; an organically farmed vineyard adjacent to his winery just up from St. Helena. Aged in French oak (35% new), Turley has created a vibrant wine where juicy and herbaceous are the stars. 2011 marks the 2nd vintage of this single vineyard throwback called simply, The Label.
