Download Tech SheetOur Ruppert Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon has been a cornerstone of our portfolio since 2005. While Coombsville has become a favorite among Napa Valley Cab lovers in recent years, we've always appreciated this AVA for its consistent climate, vibrant acidity, and red fruit character. The back palate offers impressive length, carrying ripe red fruit on a nearly endless finish. As our last pick of the season, the cooler weather allows for extended hang time, developing nuances other AVAs can’t achieve. With deep alluvial soils and a touch of flinty minerality beneath the fruit, this wine may initially seem soft, but it reveals a rich, structured profile. Named after my grandfather, Paul Ruppert Baldacci, who balances gruffness with tenderness, this wine reflects his character perfectly.
