🏰 The 2019 DuMOL Cabernet Sauvignon Meteor Vineyard hails from Coombsville, Napa Valley, a region known for its gravelly white volcanic tufa soils and a long, mild growing season influenced by the San Pablo Bay [1, 22, 45]. This vintage is celebrated for its beautiful fruit profile [32]. The wine was aged for 20 months in 70% new French oak [1, 22]. Winemaker Andy Smith notes a unique 'Pinot-osity' in these Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignons [8]. 【Based on aggregated critic scores, this is one of the top 10 Coombsville wines】 [1]. This stunning wine offers a pure and beautiful expression with blackcurrants and violets, supported by very fine velvety tannins [1, 22]. It is medium- to full-bodied, showcasing succulent and juicy tannins, spicy, iron, and minerally notes, all while remaining polished and refined [1, 22]. The nose is decadent with intense dark fruits, black rose petals, loamy soils, and sweet pipe tobacco leaf [1, 22]. On the palate, it's smooth and viscous, creating a weightless effect [22], with flavors of açaí, blueberry, and violet, complemented by a subtle racy edge and a cool cast iron accent—a hallmark of Coombsville terroir [8, 32]. Vinous rated this vintage 96 points, highlighting copious dark fruit, lavender, sage, grilled herbs, and licorice, with potent yet beautifully balanced tannins [8]. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This powerful Cabernet Sauvignon is an ideal partner for classic dishes such as beef and venison [1, 9]. It also pairs exceptionally well with lamb, other game meats, and mature, hard cheeses [9]. 🥂 Event suggestions: While drinkable now, this wine will truly shine after four or five years, softening and coming together beautifully, with an anticipated drinking window extending over the next two decades [1, 22]. It's a superb choice for a special occasion, a celebratory dinner, or as a prized addition to a serious wine collection for long-term enjoyment.
