2017 Coho Headwaters Proprietary Red Wine Napa Valley

There might be no bottle that earns more consistent raves from our members than Phil Corallo-Titus’s Coho Headwaters. They’ve called it “fabulous” and “one of our all-time favorites,” giving it a slew of five-star reviews and often lamenting, as their cases dwindle, “Should have bought more!”

This is a powerful and generous red wine that not only displays 100-point winemaker Corallo-Titus’s skill but shows why Headwaters is a constant hit with our members. The wine is lush yet light on its feet, with gorgeous layers of red and black fruits accented by a dusty, dark-chocolate element joined by raw coconut, sweet vanilla, and dried mint, and a firm yet approachable finish that makes it delicious now but also suited for a decade in the cellar. 

Corallo-Titus made his name with decadent, high-scoring Cabernets from Chappellet. He further honed his skills with his namesake Titus label, which Robert Parker praised for its “consistent high quality” year after year. All his experience producing top-scoring wines is now pouring into Coho, and it shows in the ripe concentration and refined structure of this Headwaters blend. It’s impossible not to finish this bottle once it’s opened—it’s just that good.

Founded by 30-year wine-industry veteran Gary Lipp—an alum of Paul Hobbs, Chalone, Robert Mondavi, and Chappellet—Coho transmits Napa Valley terroir in wines renowned for their power and balance. Since 2014, Corallo-Titus has been at Coho’s winemaking helm, stewarding blends like Headwaters to robust, fruit-laden fame. 

Grown primarily in Coombsville, South Napa, and Sage Canyon, the 2017 Headwaters blend delivers power, finesse, and ageability. No matter how, no matter where, and no matter when you drink it, you’ll undoubtedly enjoy it.
