Coho 2006 Headwaters Red Wine, Napa Valley

A blockbuster new Napa Valley Merlot  blend from a small producer.

Coho Winery is the shared aspiration of Brooks Painter and Gary Lipp to produce flavorful, balanced wines. The Coho 2006 Headwaters Red Napa Valley (81%Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot) shows off a dense purple color plus a sweet perfume of espresso, white chocolate, black cherries, and figs. With tremendous opulence, density, and a long,lush finish, it will provide plenty of pleasure anytime over the next decade.

previous vintage 92 Points Wine Spectator: "Impressive for its layered, complex flavors. Aromas of ripe plum, loam and spicy oak lead to focused, deep black cherry, pencil lead and sage flavors that take on tannins toward the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2009 through 2013. 776 cases made."
