The Angell-Stephan Vineyard benefits from Coombsville’s signature volcanic soils, cool marine influence, and extended growing season, producing fruit of exceptional concentration and balance. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that speaks clearly of place while delivering the depth and sophistication expected from Napa Valley’s elite vineyard sites. The 2019 vintage opens with captivating aromas of blackcurrant, wild blackberry, and dark plum layered with notes of violet, graphite, cedar, and bay laurel. On the palate, dense layers of cassis, blackberry compote, and dark cherry unfold alongside nuances of dark chocolate, espresso, crushed rock, and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness, while vibrant acidity lends freshness and energy throughout. Powerful yet refined, the wine builds to a long, polished finish marked by remarkable persistence, minerality, and elegance. A compelling expression of Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is approachable today with decanting and possesses the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 15 to 20 years.
