2013 Paul Hobbs, Nathan Coombs Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon, Coombsville, Napa Valley, California, USA

From their own estate, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Nathan Coombs Estate has a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot in the blend. This is a beauty with loads of minerality, almost liquefied rock-like character, and plenty of spicy red and black currants moving toward blueberry and blackberry. It is rich, shows some licorice, a layered texture and a long, long finish. This is another 20 to 30-year wine, as are all of these 2013s.Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 04/03/2016
