2021 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville
Paul Hobbs’ 2021 vintage from Nathan Coombs Estate is a testament to a season of perfection. Deep garnet in color, it reveals aromas of ripe blackberry, black currant, and dark chocolate, layered with leather and sweet tobacco. On the palate, expect bold flavors of graphite and anise spice, balanced by fresh acidity and fine structure—a true Napa Valley gem with enduring complexity.
Tasting Panel
With an attention- getting purple-black hue, this astound- ing red is silky but manages to eke out teeth-grabbing, dusty black-tea tannins. A host of flavors, among them graphite, black raspberry, violets, and Worces- tershire, sends a message of intensity. Earth and soil notes are apparent, sur- rounding a mineral component within the wine's deep core.
James Suckling
Excellent complexity of blackcurrant, lead pencil and oyster. Some redwood and bark. Full to medium body with wonderfully crafted tannins that run the length of the wine with so much subtle and complex character of graphite and fruit. Structured and classic. Bordeaux blend with cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and petit verdot.
