Coho Headwaters Napa Valley Red Wine is a “Bordeaux blend” of four varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (56%); Merlot (38%); 5% Petite Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The majority (77%) of the vineyards for this wine are in the new “Coombsville” appellation of the Napa Valley. This rock strewn “terroir” provides deep and opaque red color, with supple red cherry/wild berry and cassis fruit aromas. The same fruit tones and integrated oak nuances offer complex flavors and power on the palate. The supple tannins offer a silky fine-grained texture to the wine and a lingering, fruit-forward finish.

Accolades

Wine Advocate 92pts “The Cabernet Sauvignon-based 2010 Red Blend Headwaters is a deep, voluptuous wine bursting with blackberries, black currant, spices and graphite. Endowed with considerable inner sweetness and depth, the 2010 will drink well pretty much right out of the gate. Readers who appreciate the extroverted, opulent side of Napa Valley will love this deep, flavorful offering. The Headwaters is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. These three wines from Coho are all big, overt and totally delicious.”
