Retail $130. Big. Ass. Bottle. 67% Malbec, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon. Since this wine is made by Paul Hobbes, I should not be surprised by the weight of the bottle (which is beyond ridiculous), nor the quality of the wine (which is off the charts). Made from the 26 best barrels of Malbec, this certainly has the "wow" factor. Rich fruit (blackberry, plum, cassis), a mocha aspect that is captivating, spice (including sage, clove, and rosemary). Holy cow. I could spend the rest of the evening trying to explain what is going on here. Certainly an elegant wine that is well outside my norm, but whoa, is it delicious.
