Description:
"We Put Our Money Where our Grapes Are" The Turnbull name goes back to the early 1300's when William Roule of Bedrule saved the life of Scottish king Robert the Bruce from a wild bull that was threatening to gore him. William jumped in between the bull and the king and proceeded to turn it back. The grateful king dubbed his subject "Turnbull" and awarded him a crest featuring a bull's head twisted back with the motto: Audaci Favet Fortuna, or "Fortune Favors the Bold". Today, we demonstrate our boldness through our wines. We craft our award-winning wines using fifteen different grape varieties grown on our family-owned, estate vineyards in Oakville and Calistoga. This allows the winemaker and his team the ability to create wines with distinctive flavors that capture the personality of the site, from steep hillsides, to the bench land, to the valley floor.
