ALH Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Winemaker Notes
This wine presents the eye with a magenta hue and a vibrant ruby red rim. The nose offers up an inviting bouquet of ripe red cherry, damp earth, and nuances of fresh violet. The palate is elegantly structured, with harmonious layers of fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity. As the wine unfolds it reveals a sublime blend of black raspberry, wild thyme and dark cacao, while savory herbal notes add a further intriguing dimensional note. The finish is long and graceful with a touch of graphite—a hallmark of southern Coombsville's cool climate and rocky volcanic soils.
Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc
Agustina has been quietly soaking up every single thing her father says and does in the vineyard, learning the meticulous craftsmanship that has made him such a legend and using those skills to forge her own path. You can tell that this may be her debut wine, but she has been doing it her whole life.
This gorgeous, young Cabernet Sauvignon was made exclusively from select blocks within the renowned Nathan Coombs Estate (not a bad site for a debut wine!) where the soil is largely clay loam with igenous rocks and volcanic tuff. Agustina chose to age this beauty in 18 months with 29% of that oak new, so even in its youth, it’s already super inviting with a great bouquet of cherry, violet and forest floor. The palate is elegant and well-structured with layers of layers of red, blue and black fruits with thyme and some dark cacao. The finish is long and graceful with a touch of graphite—a hallmark of southern Coombsville’s cool climate and rocky volcanic soils.
