2014 vintage. Excellent fill and cork. Not decanted. Tasted after 1.25 hours open. The best red I’ve ever tasted from Paul Hobbs (and have had approx 125 samples over the years-including the high-end bleep). In a really admirable place currently between integration and balance, fruit and tannins. Will it improve? Doubtful. Can it hold steady for a spell? Definitely. Not exactly the biggest fan of what consists of To Kalon/Tokalon juice/interpretation these days vs the 60’s/70’s/80’s/earlyish 90’s but this was phenomenal. Medium body with respectable sed. A mullet wine…all business up front with a party on the back palate. Color me surprised and impressed. 11.8.24. — 6 months ago

Trendy native varietal from Armenia. Smooth light bodied red with hints of red berries and an herby finish. Interesting wine.
Would love to pair with lamb maybe. — 10 months ago

Big & bold. Ripe dark fruit, spice, etc…Evolved yet still developing. Really loved the complex tertiary flavors starting to appear. One complaint: WHOPPING 14.7%! — 6 months ago

Deep purple in the glass, with aromas of dark cherry, vanilla, spices, and earthy notes. The palate reveals layers of oak and ripe red and blackberry fruits. Opulent, with a medium body and soft tannins, it embodies a New World style—a Pinot Noir for Cabernet lovers. The ABV is on the higher side, and it could benefit from additional aging. — 7 months ago
