RATINGS

94James Suckling

Lots of dried mushrooms, currants and dried dark fruit with some dried flowers. Full body and soft, velvety tannins with tension and focus. Bright finish.

92The Wine Advocate

...features crushed red and black currants, black raspberries and wild blueberries scents with hints of cigars, pencil shavings, black tea and menthol plus a waft of cedar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with crunchy black fruits and a firm, fine-grained texture, supported by impressive freshness and finishing long and energetic.

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.
