Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review – Rated 96:
A rich and layered red with blackcurrant, dark chocolate and purple fruit. Full and solid with beautiful flavors. Consistent, juicy and delicious. Blue fruit and mint at the end. Spicy. A triumph for the vintage. Drink now or hold.
Wine Enthusiast Review – Rated 94:
An opaque, smoky-red color and spiced aromas of violets, black currants and cinnamon lead to concentrated, layered dark chocolate, blueberries and blackberries in this gorgeous, fruit-saturated wine. It is tempting enough to enjoy now, and will be best from 2025–2035.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Review – Rated 93:
Harvested between September 24 and October 1, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon matured in 71% new French oak. It features scents of black cherries, cassis, baked pastry dough and cinnamon on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is almost creamy-lush in texture, finishing long, velvety and just a bit warm.
Jeb Dunnuck Review – Rated 92:
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville is a beautiful effort with considerable charm and elegance. Pretty cassis, scorched earth, and graphite notes all emerge on the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied and has a nicely concentrated, balanced profile on the palate that’s already drinking nicely. It is certainly more accessible and easier to read than the Nathan Coombs Estate release.
