The 2022 DuMOL Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable single-vineyard Cabernet from the acclaimed Coombsville AVA in Napa Valley. Sourced from the renowned Meteor Vineyard, one of Napa’s most prestigious Cabernet sites, the wine reflects DuMOL’s meticulous approach to vineyard management and winemaking. The cool climate and volcanic soils of Coombsville contribute exceptional structure, freshness and complexity, producing a Cabernet that combines power with remarkable elegance.
The nose reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum alongside notes of graphite, cedar, violet and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and beautifully layered, with concentrated dark fruit supported by finely polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Hints of cassis, tobacco leaf, crushed stone and baking spice add depth and sophistication, while the finish is long, seamless and exceptionally refined. The 2022 vintage showcases both the intensity of Napa Valley and the balance that defines great Coombsville Cabernet.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A world-class Napa Valley Cabernet that delivers extraordinary depth, precision and ageing potential. Powerful yet elegant, it pairs beautifully with premium beef, lamb, venison and aged hard cheeses. Enjoy with a generous decant if drinking now, or cellar through 2045–2055 as it develops further complexity, savoury nuance and classic Cabernet maturity.
