"Aromas of sweet oak, menthol and blueberries attract your attention immediately and lead into bordeauxesque earthy tones, typical of the cool Coombsville sub-appellation. Intense forest floor and pine intertwine with dark ripe fruit and toasty barrel notes. The flavors on the palate follow the aromatic profile perfectly with sweet fruit, black cherry and blueberry commingling with rich earth and barrel spice. Focused structure, bold, rich and powerful yet soft with elegantly integrated tannins giving it balance and finishing with subtle notes of floral and spice."
"The first vintage of our Coombsville Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, cassis and black cherries comingle with cigar box, cedar and tarragon. The flavors are lush and bold. Raspberry liqueur, savory spiced dark fruit, cocoa nibs, crushed violet and graphite. Ten years after its release, it is still powerful but now exhibits a delicacy indicative of its world class heritage. There is an old-world quality to the wine’s texture. The tannins remain compact with softened edges. The acidity continues to uplift in a lengthy finish."
