Planted atop a knoll in the gentle rolling hills of Coombsville, this 22-acre vineyard is co-owned by internet pioneer Barry Schuler and acclaimed winemakers Bill and Dawnine Dyer. Neither hillside nor valley floor, this perch in the southeast corner of Napa Valley offers a singular combination of elevation, aspect and stony, volcanic ash soils. The well-draining soils impart depth and minerality to the wine, and the even, daytime temperatures and cooling breezes from San Pablo Bay allow leisurely ripening, which softens tannins and produces lush, yet bright, fruit. There is a distinct profile to Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon that we love: its vibrant, violet-hued color, flavors of blackberry and red cherries, and ripe fruit aromas create a beautifully refined and elegant wine with everything in perfect balance. We picked, fermented and aged clones 4 and 7 individually, then crafted our final blend from them.
