The owners of Hobel Wines came to town and put on a nice tasting, while also detailing their history. Very nice people and wines. They make two wines, both Cabernets from Calistoga. TRB is the winemaker.
I preferred this over The Figure. This could be a dead ringer for a Rivers-Marie Cabernet. TRB signature style of showing the entire fruit spectrum...raspberries, black cherry, blueberries. Dark cocoa in the middle showing a finish that turned more herbal and savory. Really enjoyable. — 7 years ago

45 year old Muscat vines. Skin contact. Unfiltered. Fresh, bright, high acid. Tropical and floral notes, jasmine, star fruit, lychee and a little lemon juice. Killer pairing with salmon sashimi. — 10 years ago

M. Chiarlo’s Moscato d’Asti is also available in a 375ml which is a nice size to pop open after a nice meal. A slight effervescence wine with a light golden color. Aromas of sweet fresh stone fruits and citrus layered with a bit of floral spice. On the palate flavors of peaches and apricots with a grape-like character. Medium finish ending with citrus, sweet spice and honey notes. A favorite, great value! Grab a 750ml for a larger crowd! — 6 years ago
Extremely complex and full of acidity. Aromatics of lemon, Granny Smith apple, basil, wet stones and rubber. The pallet features flavors of lemon pith, peach, green apple and slate. Straw colored and lively. Hint of fruity sweetness on the finish. Nice FLX expression of this outstanding Eastern European grape! — 6 years ago
Great quality Texas wine. I was very surprised! — 8 years ago

2018 vintage. Roasted red plum, cranberry, stewed cherries, graphite, leather, muted spice, dried herb. Good structure. Less Nebbiolo-like than other examples of the grape, incorporating a little more ripeness and baked quality to the fruit. — 5 years ago
