Peter Heitz turned out a stellar set of 2021s at Turnbull. The wines are rich, opulent and ready to give pleasure with minimal cellaring. Yields are down 10-20%, which is quite modest relative to most properties. The 2021s spent 20 months in barrel, 30% for the top wines down to about 10% for the more accessible offerings. For my palate, the Oakville Reserve, in particular, really hits a sweet spot of quality and value.
