Paul Hobbs Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe 2018 cabernet sauvignon marks a pivot for the regular Hobbs cab that moves from Napa Valley proper to Hobb's Nathan Coombs Estate vineyard in Coombsville, a cooler Napa site to the south and east of the historic valley. The colour is opaque, and the fruit is a slightly cooler red-black mix with a stony mineral underscore and some refined spicing. It is nowhere near ready to drink, but it seldom stops Hobbs fans who love the style, even if it's backed off the Napa power in recent years looking for more complexity and finesse.Tasted: 17 July 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $150.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
