We drank this one in the Chetola Inn in Blowing Rock...it was my Birthday. Prior to Dinner, we sat and enjoyed this wine in Hotel Glasses and it was excellent. Still, we have have never had a bad Tobin James Wine. It's very comforting to know that we can pull any of our Tobin wines from the Cabinet and pull a winner.

For a 6 year old Paso Cab the fruit on the nose and palate was still huge. We all know Tobin makes big fruit wines, but even after this much time it still had a ton of way to go. Wine soften after about a half hour. Well done Tobin. Great value too.

Straight forward cab, ripe but not overtly, good structure and stood up well for where it is from. Nicely done.

nicely evolving wine, nose of ripe black and red fruit, sweet, leather and some hints of tobacco, solid structure.

Not much depth, big and fruity like a Tobin. Good with herbed New York roast, but many better choices.
