The 2017 Mending Wall Tournahu Cabernet Sauvignon takes everything we loved about the 2016 and amplifies it. The midpalate has wonderful depth and power, while the ripe, fine tannins provide structure and length without being obvious or drying. The 2017 is cut from the same cloth as the 2016 and offers a full-bodied, rich, smoky, meaty edge as well as lots of herbal, tobacco, and walnut nuances. Accessible now with a few hours in the decanter, this wine has composition to age gracefully for at least a decade or more. | Mending Wall Wines There's a ripe herb/herbal edge in the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Tournahu Vineyard, which comes from a vineyard on the valley floor located on an old riverbed. Lots of black fruits, salted meats, and cured black olives define the bouquet, and it's full-bodied, concentrated, and structured on the palate. It's a serious wine that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15-20. | 96 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com Deep black core and staining color with a nose of black currants and leaves. Firm but not abrasive tannin. An impression of the nose follows to the palate that is still tightly wound and intensifies with aeration. | Falling Bright
