The cooler climate of Coombesville was ideal in 2020 and Andy and Annie's attention in the vineyard and careful light-touch in the winery have worked wonders. The texture here is smooth and velvety, with ripe blue and black fruit and layers of mineral complexity. Black olive tapenade, graphite and tea leaves all come to the fore, and it finishes long and fine.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville reveals a bit more sage and redder fruit than the 2018 or 2019, backed by cassis notes. No, it's not as dense or concentrated as the previous two vintages, but it's still a solid effort that doesn't appear—at least to this taster—to show any smoke taint. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and fine, with some tea-like notes on the lingering finish.
