Coho’s Elegant, Polished Headwaters Red
|
|
|
To the THOUSANDS of members who’ve made the winery an all-time Wine Access favorite:
Coho. Is. Back.
For the first time in three years!
And if you’ve never had the pleasure of popping a bottle: Coho represents PRECISELY what our members love about Napa Valley reds.
It’s been a Wine Access favorite since their beginning, and no bottle has earned more consistent raves than the plush, elegant Headwaters. Members have called it “one of our all-time favorites” and it’s been showered with four- and five-star ratings over its run as perhaps the go-to rich Napa bottling under $50. The last vintage boasts a staggering 4.4-star score, standing with Napa reds twice as expensive.
In the outstanding 2021 vintage, 100-point winemaker Keith Emerson crafted a stunner that lives up to the legacy of Coho founder Gary Lipp and longtime winemaker Phil Titus. Powerful yet elegant and plush, it’s exactly what our members have always loved about Coho.

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. Starting in 2014, Phil Corallo-Titus of Chappellet sat at Coho’s winemaking helm, stewarding blends like Headwaters to robust, fruit-laden fame.
After the 2018 vintage, the seasoned Lipp decided to move to the exits, but his longtime right-hand man, Pierre Limeux, knew that the Coho brand was too good to let go. So with Lipp’s blessing, Pierre sought a winemaker who could fill Titus’s cavernous shoes—and he went straight to the top.
Enter Keith Emerson, the Philippe Melka–trained ace who has racked up huge scores with Vineyard 29. Emerson. For the 2021, Emerson sourced gorgeous Cabernet (54%), Merlot (24%), and Malbec from Napa Valley, crushing 100% whole berries and vinifying the blend after a three-day cold soak. He gave the Headwaters a luxurious 21-month rest in 45% new French oak, bottling a mere 460 cases last November.
The result is the kind of rich, silky red that Wine Access members have been in love with since the beginning. Don’t miss your shot at this one—we don’t know when or if another will come!

Wine Access Tasting Note

Power, elegance, and concentration with a dense dark ruby core. Aromas are led by a bounty of plum, ripe cherry, and blackberry on a bed of violets with licorice and mocha. The mouthfeel is plush, juicy, and impactful with silky tannins and a long-lasting finish. Drink now–2035
