94 Points Brix26: "One of the year's best buys is also one of its most delicious wines. The Coho Headwaters Red is a full-bodied masterpiece with a smooth, round mouthfeel, delicious dark fruit and concentrated blackberry, cassis and currant with a licorice core. A finish thats goes on and on with balanced, gripping tannins that makes for a polished yet big wine. Approachable now and will continue to develop through 2036. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Verdot. 21 months in 100% French Oak, 40% new for the vintage."
Coho Winery was the shared aspiration of Brooks Painter and Gary Lipp to produce flavorful, balanced wines. After folding up shop in 2022, enter Keith Emerson, the Philippe Melka–trained ace who has racked up huge scores with Vineyard 29 and has revived the brand and wine that customers love! For the 2023 Heaqwaters Red, Emerson sourced gorgeous Cabernet, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc from prime sites in St. Helena, Rutherford, Oak Knoll, and Moon Mountain. He crushed 100% optically sorted whole berries, vinifying the blend after a three-day cold soak, then giving the wine a luxurious 18-month rest in a luxurious 40% new, tight-grained French oak.
