2019 Coquerel Cabernet Sauvignon Walnut Wash Vineyard

$35.99
2019 Coquerel Cabernet Sauvignon Walnut Wash Vineyard
We had the pleasure of meeting Stacey from Coquerel this last week, and what a wonderful treat! Stacey manages business operations for Coquerel and came to share their current releases with us. Being such a small operation, Stacey and the winemaker Christine wear many hats and work extremely hard to get this small production high-end wine the attention it truly deserves.
Located in Calistoga just north of Tubbs Lane is the Coquerel vineyards and winemaking facility. Founded by Clay and Brenda Cockerel (The name Coquerel is an archaic French derivation of the family name ‑ Cockerell). In 2005, they purchased a vineyard in Calistoga planted to old-vine, dry-farmed Sauvignon Blanc. In 2008 they acquired the adjacent site planted to a handful of traditional varieties rarely found in modern-day Napa. Since then, Clay and Brenda have revamped, replanted, and upgraded the property to luxury-class wine-growing standards.
With their production generally around 2000 cases a year, this small operation focuses on high-quality Old-World varietal focused wines. Winemaker Christine Barbe was born and raised in Bordeaux France. She studied biochemistry and received her doctorate degree in Enology and Viticulture from the Bordeaux Institute of Enology. Her knowledge of Sauvignon Blanc is extensive as she made wine at Chateau Carbonnieux and La Louviere in Pessac-Leognan.
Christine oversees the winemaking and viticultural programs and practices at the estate vineyard in Calistoga. In the spirit of the traditional French vigneron, a life she knows well from her years in Bordeaux, Christine manages all aspects of the farming, harvesting, vinification, and bottling to ensure the highest quality, most expressive wines possible.
A note about the vineyards:
“Our estate “Walnut Wash” vineyard sits in the afternoon shadows of the Mayacamas Mountains at the north end of Napa Valley in the Calistoga AVA. The site is warm and protected and features a mix of deep clay and stony soils. There are currently seven acres planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho, Petite Syrah and Tempranillo. In 2014 we added four acres of Cabernet Sauvignon. Under the guidance of winemaker Christine Barbe, our vineyard is intensely farmed for low yields and high quality. The unique conditions and favorable terroir produce exceptional fruit each vintage.”

Tasting Note:
The wine has a dark deep inky color with a highly aromatic bright nose featuring rich fruit, black cherry, strawberry, pepper and slate. The palate is rich and dense with round and balanced soft tannins, a long finish with fresh fruit. While this wine drinks beautifully now it will continue to improve over the next decade. This wine can be paired with dishes such as filet mignon, beef stews, wild game, and dark chocolate.
