Cabernet Sauvignon, Nathan Coombs Estate
"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Nathan Coombs Estate is every bit as impressive as it was last year. What a wine. Deep, sensual and layered, with phenomenal aromatic presence, the Nathan Coombs simply has it all." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The unique volcanic soil composition of this site is exhibited in this cabernets mineral texture and intensely structured palate. Our latest release from the exceptional 2019 vintage presents a deep purple rim surrounding an opaque garnet core with an abundance of aromas emerging from black currant and dark cherry to crème de cassis and tobacco leaf. Both graceful and bold on the palate, the silky tannins are balanced by pulsing acidity that brings tension and focus throughout. Notes of boysenberry are interspersed with accents of sweet thyme against a backdrop of graphite, adding to the long finish and layers of complexity.
