Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2015 Coach Gun was handpicked, sorted, and fermented naturally, then aged for 24 months in 60% new French oak barrels. The blend was refined over the course of the first year of aging and the final blend was determined just months before bottling.

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Petit Verdot, 20% Malbec

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Powerful aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with black licorice. Full-bodied, dense and intense. Yet, focused and structured. A big wine with formed tannin muscles.
  • 92
    Combining 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Petit Verdot and 20% Malbec, all estate-grown, this has an inviting nose of toasted oak, cedar and pencil shavings. Dense, firm tannins wrap around a juicy midpalate of huge texture and complex flavor, a mix of clove, black currant and cocoa powder. This will do well with more time in the bottle; enjoy best 2020–2025. Cellar Selection.
  • 92
    The core of fig, black currant and blackberry compote flavors is intense, with notes of espresso cream, dark tobacco and tar flowing underneath. A long licorice root accent stitches this up on the finish. A very muscular but well-defined wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Best from 2022 through 2035.

Priest Ranch, California
Priest Ranch Winery Image
Priest Ranch wines are grown and made at the Somerston Estate in the Eastern Hills of Napa Valley. The eastern part of the Somerston property was originally settled by Joshua James Priest who arrived in California in 1849. Priest gained title to 638 acres of the Catacula land grant in Soda Valley and he and his descendants managed to hold on to most of the ranch for over a century. Today, all the Priest Ranch wines are 100% Estate Grown and made from selected vineyard blocks that express integrated and intensely rich, yet approachable qualities. Priest Ranch wines represent the diversity and richness of the Somerston Estate.

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
