Wine Spectator
Dark and winey, with steeped black currant, fig and blackberry fruit flavors, inlaid liberally with smoldering charcoal and sweet tobacco notes. Anise and tar details score the finish, adding length and range to the depth and energy. Best from 2021 through 2035.

James Suckling
In spite of its excellent ripeness, offering the whole spectrum of black-fruit aromas, as well as generous, supple tannins, this Napa red retains poise and the delicate hint of sweetness is just enough to make it caressing on the palate. Long, polished finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Very deep purple-black in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a powerfully scented nose of baked blackberries, blackcurrants and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of tilled soil, tobacco, new leather and bay leaves. Full-bodied, rich, velvety textured and seductive in the mouth, it finishes with a compelling minty lift.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
Situated in the southeastern corner of Napa Valley in the Vaca range, the vineyards of the Coombsville AVA enjoy a long growing season mitigated by cool, San Pablo Bay fog.
