From the Producer: Named in honor of the founder of Napa, the Coombsville vineyard is tucked in southeastern Napa Valley at the foot of the Vaca Mountain Range. Known for its volcanic soils and cool climate with its proximity to the San Pablo Bay, this cooler site for Cabernet Sauvignon reveals cassis, mocha and black olive with an intensely structured palate of earth and dark chocolate, possessing bold, chewy tannins that fill the mouth.

In 1991, pioneering winemaker Paul Hobbs established his namesake winery in Sebastopol, California. The winery exemplifies his vision and dedication to sustainability and his ongoing quest to refine the art of winemaking with minimal intervention, yet meticulous care. Expect excellence. From Hobbs himself:

”The true character of a site is only revealed through the work and determination of tending each vineyard with meticulous care and vinifying with minimalist winemaking techniques that fully express the terroir.”
