fruit and charm

Moderate reduction presently dominates the fruit though there is good freshness and verve to the unusually refined flavors relative to what is typical for the genre

Paul Hobbs, Nathan Coombs Estate Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_italy (93-95)/2026+From 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.
