2016 John Anthony Coombsville Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes:
"The Coombsville Vineyard is one of our most intriguing vineyards. Dry farmed. Head trained. Four acres. Black cherry, raspberry jam and blood orange scents with sweet lavender, sage and exotic spices. The flavors are explosive. A dense core of dark berries and plums wrapped in grilled herbs, bittersweet dark chocolate, sweet tobacco and tanned leather. The finish is nearly undending and unfolds with great symmetry in its tannin and acid, fruit and spice."
