Expert Reviews
The 2016 Cabernet Franc Nathan Coombs Estate is deep garnet-purple colored and a little youthfully mute, opening out to reveal redcurrant jelly, kirsch and blackberry preserves plus hints of pencil shavings, cigar box and dried Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rich, solid frame of grainy tannins and plenty of freshness lifting the red and black fruit to a long savory finish. 243 cases produced.
As well as the 24 wines Paul Hobbs makes across three brands in California and New York, he co-owns four wineries globally and consults with six wineries in the US and another six in South America. His Coombsville Cabernet Franc (the AVA is dominated by an ancient volcanic caldera) is plush and textured with a violet-and-blueberry bounce of freshness, plus tobacco leaf, menthol and dark chocolate (5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot).
This is very fine-grained and polished with beautiful dark-fruit and currant character and a mouthfeel that is caressing and beautiful. This is very agile and potent. Drink in 2022, but already a beauty.
