93-94+ POINTS

"... sehr schöne, komplexe, spicy Frucht, feine Likörnote, Cassislikör, sehr saftig, vollreif+, little too much." (07/2025)

Jane Anson: 96 Punkte

"Medium to full intensity, this is soft ruby red, nuanced and vibrant, with a ton of lift and spice. Gooseberry puree, tomato leaf, cranberry, raspberry puree, this is totally delicious full of energy and lift" (07/2025)

Decanter: 96 Punkte

"Such Cabernet dominant aromatics; peppers, blackcurrants and liquorice spice with lots of floral accents too. Tobacco, clove, aniseed and lots of iron filings. Juicy and forward, this is shiny and glossy with such a happy expression. Clearly concentrated but you get the salty, iron mineral tang so strongly - a signature of this wine. Clean and precise, focussed and straight with a great defined edge. Tons of summer berries, strawberry and crunchy cranberry with a chalky finish. Lovely. Still lots of oak but it’s a lifted expression. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Owner and winemaker Paul Hobbs." - Georgina Hindle (07/2025)

Vinous

93 POINTS

The 2022 Christina's Signature Nathan Coombs Estate is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend with touches of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Ripe and racy to the core, the 2022 captures the intensity of the year. Spice, cedar, leather and tobacco open with air, adding shades of dimension. Lifted floral top notes lengthen the finish. - Antonio Galloni (12/2024)

James Suckling

97 POINTS

A sleek, elegant red that's almost sweet in red fruit and well balanced by subtle tannins, with freshness from fruit acidity. Raspberries, black cherries, dried blueberries and subtle, savory accents of bay leaves and iron come out on the palate. A firm but polished texture of moderate, fine-grained tannins. This could almost be a pinot noir in terms of its poise and balance, but it’s made from 84% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot, Drink now or hold.

Parker – Wine Advocate

94 POINTS

A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, Paul Hobbs's 2022 Cristina's Signature was developed with international markets in mind. It saw only 40% new French oak and is deliberately made in a "more Bordelaise style, for whatever that means," according to Hobbs. Gently leafy, with hints of pencil shavings framing dark fruit, it's full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with velvety tannins. Somehow, it seems to avoid any of the vintage's characteristic coarseness on the long, lingering finish.
