Those of you who have been with me for a while know I am a huge Coombsville fan.  Beautifully aromatic with plenty of backbone, Coombsville Cabernet's combine verve and complexity with robust, energetic structures. 

Lot 7 2023 Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon comes to us from an estate vineyard with the classic soil substructure of cobbly loam, small volcanic rocks and ash that, along with the fantastic diurnal swing of San Pablo bay, combine to make the wines from this region so distinctive.

The producer initially offered us two separate Lots: one from their Coombsville appellation program along with a small lot of 3 barrels from their very expensive estate vineyard designate Cabernet program (~25% of the overall blend). I initially wanted to keep them separate but they blended beautifully (and the logistics and losses involved with bottling three barrels are a PITA) so it was an easy decision to blend these together.

The source winery offers their Coombsville Cabernet for over $100/bottle and we can see the 2020 and 2021 vintages still in the market selling between $100 and $140. The estate vineyard designate program runs well north of $300/bottle. Both programs routinely score in the 93-100 point range from the major critics. Without a doubt a Top 10 player in Coombsville.

From producer Cameron Hughes:

Pretty tight NDA here folks so not much I can share other than the appellations involved (Knight's Valley and Oakville) and the final BDX blend...no discussion of price points, locations, or vineyards. I do think it is fair to note that this is not a flagship wine, but I believe it would be unfair to call it a "second wine". What I CAN tell you is that it is fantastic wine, and we are bottling the blend as it was received.

Regardless, I am confident the content below will be enough to entice you to...

Lot 5 comes to us from a legendary winery. Produced in a lush, open-knit yet beautifully structured and utterly seamless style, this 2023 Knights Valley Meritage or Proprietary Red, if you prefer, captures the '23 vintage in all its glory.

With tremendous upfront appeal (read: this will drink well now) and the capability to go another 15+years, Lot 5 is not just a sensational wine, but an amazing value! Trust me on this folks, if you like a succulent, ripe, hedonistic style produced with Swiss watchmaking precision, this is for you. Indeed, it is ABSOLUTELY TIME TO BACK UP THE TRUCK!
