2021 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Nathan Coombs Estate

Power ripples beneath polish. From the cool, volcanic slopes of Coombsville, the Nathan Coombs Estate Cabernet seamlessly blends density, mineral tension, and a graceful drive into a striking, cellar-worthy Napa red. Hand-harvested fruit is sorted cold and fermented with native yeasts, then aged in French oak for sculpted tannins and lingering complexity that unfurls across the palate

Nose — Blackcurrant, blackberry, and boysenberry glide over fresh sage, graphite, and dark cacao, with subtle cigar-box tones adding savory depth.

Palate — Full-bodied yet poised; cassis and huckleberry layer with cocoa and crushed stone, carried by fine-grained, mouth-coating tannins and vivid acidity.

Finish — Long, refined, and mineral, echoing black fruit, tobacco leaf, and an oyster-shell snap that keeps everything focused and alive

Ribeye with herb butter sings. Braised short ribs feel seamless. Try rosemary lamb, porcini-rich risotto, or aged Comté—the wine’s structure embraces savory richness.
