  One hour decant. Deep dark, yet bright, magenta color. Blueberry pie and milk chocolate are the dominant notes. Smooth, dry palate, with satiny acidity. Full tannins on the longish finish.
  
  Good, stereotypical Napa CS. Surprisingly simple, but certainly an easy drinker. Enjoyed at Luke in New Orleans.

  Last wine of the Paul Hobbs Around the World at Mission Wines. Relatively lighter extraction compared to some of his other Napa products, and slightly higher acid - I think having to do with the larger temperature changes and relatively lower temperatures here than in Napa (allowing for a lengthier ripening process). This is not as silky as the Malbec but the fruit is slightly more pronounced. The finish is quite short and there is not a whole lot of complexity in this wine. I think it is hard to quantify most Napa Cabs within a QPR bucket at this point, but this bottle feels like it is in a weird spot - pricey enough to have some sort of expectations, but not quite there given the price. I would rather spend more to get some of his other single vineyard Cabernets, or I would rather just drop the price and get a Crossbarn Pinot Noir.

  Full bodied. Well balanced with firm tannins. Vanilla, Oak, tobacco and dark fruits.

  Broke out after killing a bottle of 2009 Opus One. Held up nicely.
