A go-to cool climate syrah. Peppery, lively — 11 years ago
2002 by Paul Hobbs is unbeatable, maybe his best class of Cabernets, though in a few years I am sure 2007 will be a staunch competitor. Red and purple color, the nose is a little funky, but the palate is fantastic with bright red fruits like cherry and raspberry, a touch of dusty mocha, the palate is plenty young, easily another 5-7 years here. Bright acidity and silky tannins. Shows the Carneros cool climate in spades. — 12 years ago
