RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Dark and winey, with a cool cast iron note running through a core of açaí and blackberry compote flavors. Reveals sweet bay leaf, menthol and sassafras on the rich finish. Very Coombsville.

93Vinous / IWC

Blood orange, cinnamon, spice and crushed raspberry fruit all grace this mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon from Davies.

93James Suckling

A juicy and balanced red that shows notes of ripe black and blue fruit, baking spices and licorice. Some breadcrumbs and hazelnuts, too. Full body, yet with soft tannins and vibrant acidity. Has a polished mouth-feel, especially on the finish. Lots of chocolate on the finish.

93+ Jeb Dunnuck

...releases and offers considerable richness in its more blue fruits, green tobacco, candied violet, dark chocolate, and earth-like aromas and flavors. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and nicely concentrated, it has subtle background oak, ripe tannins, and a great finish.

91Wine Enthusiast

This smooth, relaxed and very ripe-tasting wine blends dark chocolate, milk chocolate, dark plum and cinnamon flavors on a plush texture of fine-grained tannins.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Coombsville

Coombsville AVA is one of Napa Valley’s newer appellations, having received its official designation only in 2011. Tucked just to the northeast of Los Carneros and a few minutes’ drive east of downtown Napa, the Coombsville appellation is relatively large at a total of 11,000 acres. The elevation varies from 100 to 1,000 feet, and the climate is moderated by marine breezes from the San Pablo Bay. The main grape varieties here are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
