This wine is beautifully built with tremendous structure and age-ability.

This is a fine Cabernet, but there’s too much baby fat covering up any distinctive qualities it might possess.

Much higher toned than the 2009, the 2011 offers red currant, blueberry, savory herbs, and spice.

Soft, supple tannins are integrated and provide lift to the fruit.

There is marvelous tension and structure here...

Dark and inky, this Cabernet reminds me of a renowned $500+ Bordeaux blend that is lithe on the palate with a velvety smooth, well-integrated structure, round tannins, dense texture, and a long lingering finish that lasts a full 30 seconds.

Features inky dark colors and a silky smooth texture...

This is a wine that is designed for early enjoyment.

There is a ton of potential here that will take a decade to unpack, but is thrilling tonight with some decanting.

Showing off a silky, sultry texture, the 2012 Joseph Carr Coombsville is a lovely example of full-throttle Napa Cab at a modest price.
