1/4/2014 - lsnider wrote: 94 pointsSlow ox for about 5 hours then a 1-2 hour decant. Joyful flavors of perfectly ripe blueberries, spice & some earthy dust. Great balance and mouthfeel with just some tannnins there to let you know this is just a baby. It will get a lot better but it was a true joy to drink now.94++ |

2008 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
12/28/2013 - lsnider wrote: 93 pointsFrom Magnum. Took it out to eat as something for everyone to enjoy at a restaurant gathering. PnP. Classic Paul Hobbs just a wonderful blend of dark fruits, a touch of vanilla & mind blowing texture. He truly has a way with his wines when it comes to the texture & mouthfeel. |

12/27/2013 - lsnider wrote: 96 pointsPnP & drank over about 2 hours. Made the list & wanted to try one. Is it way way to early to drink this hell yes, does that bother me hell no! This is what is great about wine you can open a bottle like this at 10am during the holidays with a few great friends & have a wonderful time. That makes it worth every penny! |

12/27/2013 - lsnider wrote: 93 pointsEnjoyed this over 2 days but will just write a combined note from memory. Very re fruited with a nice weight to it. There was also some spice & lavander that came through on day 2. I can't wait to try one of these with a few years on it. I also like the change up this gives you vs a lot of he heavy wines I drink. This gives you the same power of the flavors but just dances on the palate. |

10/15/2013 - lsnider wrote: 92 pointsPnP. We wanted a red wine the other night and my wife made it clear she wanted a Myriad in which I gladly poured as they are my favorites also. Nice black & blue fruit jump out of the glass. Also got a touch of some tobacco. The wine is very consistent with the other bottles I have opened. Nice firm & sweet tannins are still there. |
