Bomb Wines

Hall Wines

Ellie's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Decanted an hour. This is a flavor bomb. On the nose it's that brand new violet Crayola crayon out of the Mega 64 pack. Bursts of blackberries and cherries on the palate. Crazy long finish. A bit dusty and leathery and a wonderful cab from Hall. — 6 years ago

Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz

Just tasted this blind in Somm class. I really enjoyed it and was somewhat surprised by that fact. Not as much of a fruit bomb as I would have expected. Selling Cali wines all day has jaded this East Coast kid. — 6 years ago

Austin Hope

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Huge, rich and extracted. Blackberry, vanilla, cedar, hints of black pepper. Wouldn’t have guessed Cabernet. Reminded more me of a (sweeter) Clio or even a zin. A fun, easy drinking wine. Every now and again I like a fruit bomb and this 🎯🎯🎯 — 7 years ago

Saw this everywhere (for the first time) today... $40-$50. Surprised nobody had it at $29.99. The label is eye catching in a Grange sort of way.

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Jammy fruit forward jihad bomb combined with purple octopus ink color, elegant ripeness, legs like Cindy Crawford, and stinky Pepé Le Pew perfume aromatics. This bottle possessed me with the vengeance of the exorcist. — 9 years ago

Huge. Hedonism. Fruit bomb but opened it 4 hours ago and it helped soften the blow a bit. Spice and sweet licorice. — 6 years ago

Alright I'll be more creative throughout my progress of the case of these I have.

At least it was real fruit, not waxed. Next it'll be a cheesy picture of spongy plastic grapes hanging from the fake trellis at the local Italian food restaurant
