PAUL HOBBS – Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Napa Valley, California
Paul Hobbs is widely regarded as one of Napa Valley’s most precise and terroir-driven winemakers, and his Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark expression of this cool, volcanic sub-appellation.
Style & Origin
Sourced from the Coombsville AVA, located east of the Napa Valley floor, this wine reflects the area’s cooler climate and volcanic soils, producing Cabernets of elegance, freshness, and structure rather than sheer power.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in color. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violets, graphite, and crushed rock, layered with subtle notes of cedar, cocoa, and sweet spice.
The palate is refined and tightly wound, showing dark fruit precision, fine-grained tannins, and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and impeccably balanced.
