  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.

  Popped this at a wine bar and poured through an aerator. I wanted to try this as I just picked up a bottle at a Pavilion's wine sale. It was obvious immediately that a pnp was a mistake. This wine was a bit disjointed.
  
  This had flavors of blueberry, raspberry, spice, and a touch of tobacco. The flavors did not work in harmony and the tannins were still to tight. This bottle needs to be held for a couple of years or give a really long decant.
  
  I have drank a few Paul Hobbs Napa Valley bottles and they presented the same way. Not ready for business. Those were also a pnp at a winebar. Maybe these are just not wine bar wines as they were anything but easy drinking.
