Coho Headwaters Red 2014 | Delicious already – Super Cellar Selection from Phil Titus
The Coho Headwaters Red 2014 is the kind of wine that rewards stockpiling. Why? because opening up that first one will inevitably lead to a second. So it’s that delicious already—but you’ll definitely want a handful of them resting in the cellar. Especially in a year like 2014. And especially with wine this appealing already.
Opaque black in color, fading to ruby at the rim. Jammy aromas of currant, blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry waft from the glass, with undertones of mocha, vanilla, and allspice. The rich, full-bodied palate is framed by soft, fleshy tannins and a core of wild raspberry and Maduro tobacco, all of which roll into a velvety finish that promises years of evolution. Drink Coho Headwaters Red 2014 now – 2028.

“The Cabernet gave structure and elegance to the blend as well as concentrated fruit and spice aromas and flavors,” Corallus-Titus told us, with the Petit Verdot and Merlot adding “layers of complexity and richness.” And because the Coho Headwaters Red 2014 includes a bit more Merlot and Petit Verdot in the blend, it’s already drinking brilliantly…though, of course, several years of cellaring will only add to its charm.

The choice of Coho as the name of the brand might seem curious as it doesn’t invoke images of vineyards or wine, but to us, the salmon embodies innate wisdom so essential to understanding ourselves and our environment. As stewards of the land winemakers must strive to sustain our habitat and the species that share it. And like the salmon, we need the steadfast will to keep going no matter how difficult the journey.
