Community Tasting Notes (8) Avg Score: 93.9 points

  • Surprisingly underwhelming as I expected more, but not bad either. The wine is cork was saturated dark purple with a stained residue build up, typically a good sign in my experience, in the glass, a very different story. The color was a translucent purple color, but the wine was not the full bodied Cabernet that I anticipated. The wine was a bit tight and it never really opened up so after a glass, I put the cork in the bottle for day 2. This was a better experience, the wine showed more on the elegant side, medium dark berry fruit, plum and currant fruit, but this wine was rather soft, elegant and smooth on the palate, but rather uninspiring. 91 Points.

  • Incredible smoothness on this impeccably made Paul Hobbs produced Cab. Wish I had more as this went well with the beef bourgoignon that i served.

  • Incredible French style Napa Cab. Incredible nose and stunning from start to long fling finish! And the Vintner is Canadian!

  • Attaque ronde et mûre, le vin est puissant, droit, plein. Savoureux, large, il a de la matière mais aussi une acidité qui lui garde de la fraîcheur. ...le filet mignon aux truffes arrivait sur la table, excellent argument pour me faire cesser ces notes! Je garde le souvenir d'un très beau potentiel! 92+ pts

  • Dark, foreboding upon P&P, peppery nose with lots of very dark fruit and subdued oak upon swirling. After being open a bit, the nose became all dark fruit and on the palate it was bottled velvet, much more refined than I would expect of a 4+ year old CA cab. This was superb throughout our meal of very rare porterhouse and twice baked potatoes stuffed w/aged white cheddar and brie. How I wish I had bought more than 2 of these at $35! I could easily have scored this higher than 95 after an hour or so.
