Very elegant and even playful on the palate

It finishes with incredible persistence

chiseled but fleshy

iron and dried violet joining the herb accents on the lasting finish

Paul Hobbs, Nathan Coombs Estate Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy 85% new oakFrom 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.
