Solid mouth feel- dark berries- continued to open up as dinner progressed - very well done - could rest for a number of years — 4 years ago

Julien Fayard, winemaker for Covert Estate, Azur, Taplin Cellars, Matthew Wallace and more, stopped by Fort Worth tonight to showcase a few different wines. A pleasure to meet and share wines with!
The nose on this alone had me sold. Quintessential Stag’s Leap with the deep espresso, dark chocolate, dusty aromas. Definitely some sweetness on the nose...graham cracker, smoked blueberries, and Mexican vanilla. The palate, from start to finish, is just a powerhouse of blue and black fruits mixed with baking spices, cocoa dusted dates and plum. I’d have no problem pop and pouring this. — 6 years ago
Covert Estate Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Napa Valley, California
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark purple/ Inky in color with a short purple rim.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, black pepper, bitter herbs and light tar.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
What a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley this is.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.
A little young right now, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. A gorgeous wine made by Julien Fayard.
Good by itself or with food, and will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of two Cabernet Sauvignon clones from Coombsville. Aged in new French oak barrels for over 18 months. A small production of less than 4,000 bottles made.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

More Petite Sirah than Pinot in style and taste profile but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Grainy tannins, black olive, smoke infused red fruits. Not at the mountain top where his Syrah and Grenache are perched but still very compelling and enjoyable to those who toss aside their pre-conceptions of what PN “should” taste like. — 6 years ago
