Turner Road
Turner Road produces wines across California's diverse terroirs, anchoring its portfolio in classic varietals. The Reserve Merlot leads the lineup, a wine that Wine Enthusiast has assessed at 85 points. The winery also crafts a Shiraz that earned 84.5 points, and a Cabernet Sauvignon rated at 83.7 points. These three wines form the core of Turner Road's output—each rooted in its varietal's essential character. Merlot brings structure and dark fruit; Shiraz offers the peppery intensity and richness of that variety; Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the backbone and aging potential the grape is known for. Turner Road's approach centers on letting California fruit and traditional winemaking speak through straightforward, well-made wines.
