Pale to medium deep ruby-purple in color

sea breeze and citrus confit

12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot aged 22 months in 100% new French oak

with a ripe but racy core of fruit that's complemented by a delicate

voluminous and palate coating flavors that possess a sophisticated mouth feel on the balanced and impressively persistent finish where a touch of pain grillé surfaces

Paul Hobbs, Nathan Coombs Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2013 Pale to medium deep ruby-purpleFrom their own estate, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Nathan Coombs Estate has a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot in the blend. This is a beauty with loads of minerality, almost liquefied rock like character, and plenty of spicy red and black currants moving toward blueberry and blackberry. It is rich, shows some licorice, a layered texture and a long, long finish. This is another 20 to 30 year wine, as are all of these 2013s.
