Even during its early years (10th leaf at the time of our original review) its fruit had already attracted a fine pedigree of Napa winemakers. Winemaker Philippe Melka has used the site for several of his projects; in addition fruit has been used by Etude Winery, Vineyard 29 and Favia. Besides being a great area to grow wine grapes this is also a very scenic part of the Coombsville region with views looking down towards the southern end of the valley.This is certainly more of the southern range of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Napa, aside from a few select growers in the Carneros region. Coombsville is among the cooler parts of the valley and is a region strongly influenced by the cooling effects of the San Pablo Bay. During the summer fog often moves up and down this region like waves in the sand, albeit much slower. At night the fog moves in from the south and tends to cover the entire area but then usually burns off by mid to late morning. There can certainly be heat spikes in the southern part of the valley but on the whole this is a fairly stable growing climate that tends to create long hang times with even ripening conditions.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-23T12:31:04-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-16T04:20:29-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","MK1601","Other_Wine","Producer_Meteor Vineyard","Region_Napa Valley","Source_CanaWine0123","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon"],"price":69999,"price_min":69999,"price_max":69999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42681827524746,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2013 | Meteor Vineyard | Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Special Family Reserve","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":69999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_0d8b2664-5869-4198-986c-61f300da4b3c.jpg?v=1673861388"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_0d8b2664-5869-4198-986c-61f300da4b3c.jpg?v=1673861388","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2013 | Meteor Vineyard | Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Special Family Reserve at CaskCartel.com","id":23980511297674,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.28,"height":600,"width":168,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_0d8b2664-5869-4198-986c-61f300da4b3c.jpg?v=1673861388"},"aspect_ratio":0.28,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_0d8b2664-5869-4198-986c-61f300da4b3c.jpg?v=1673861388","width":168}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2013 | Meteor Vineyard | Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Special Family Reserve\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreamy and dense, with plenty of tannic spine in support, Meteor's 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely gorgeous.
