Well, actually it's cool (temperature wise) and that is why it is turning into one of the most desirable spots for Cabernet in the Napa Valley. Check out this article by Appelation America. It does a great job pointing out why Coombsville is special as well as all the winemakers that have now realized that fact. I like how Mr. Pott describes Coombsville as a series of ranchettes. This is very true, our Midoriya vineyard is only about three acres (at 700' elevation by the way). Compare this to Oakville and Rutherford where you have corporate mega vineyards that are hundreds of acres each. I have been focusing on Coombsville for Prime Cellars since right after the 2006 harvest, now it looks like we have a lot of company.
