There might be no brand that has thrilled Wine Access members more than 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. Since 2014, 100-point winemaker Phil Corallo-Titus has been at Coho’s winemaking helm, stewarding blends like Headwaters to robust, fruit-laden fame.

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 his bottlings.  

The name “Coho” comes from Coho salmon, a native California species. Environments for indigenous fish in the state have started to rapidly disappear, and the winery has worked hard to support organizations dedicated to restoring and maintaining habitat for salmon and other native plants and animals.
