Avinodos, Coombsville, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

This youthful Cabernet shows very successful balance between sweet-seeming blackberry and black cherry fruit and fine grape tannins bolstered by toasty oak.  This will need two or three years to achieve integration in addition to balance, but the proportions are certainly well measured, and there’s not much suspense about a successful developmental outcome.  A Double Gold award winner at the 2017 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
