2016 Patel Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
Patel Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L is Patel Wines' clearly identified Cabernet Sauvignon bottling, with the site, appellation, cuvée, and format retained in the product name wherever supplied. Patel produces small-lot Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varieties with an emphasis on balance, complexity, and site expression. The wines are fermented dry, aged in new French oak, and bottled without fining or filtration. Cabernet Sauvignon is naturally structured, so glass shape, serving temperature, and time after opening can materially change how its fruit, tannin, and savory detail are perceived.
For a younger bottle, begin checking it as soon as it is opened and extend air only as needed; a mature bottle usually benefits from gentler handling and less aggressive decanting. The variety and cuvée information carried in the product name provides the clearest frame for this bottle and keeps the release distinct within the producer's wider range. Taste the wine as it opens and let its balance determine the final service approach.
