This showed nicely. Surprise of the show. Value of the show at $120 from the winery. A Paul Hobbs made wine.
Also if you read my posts, you may know that I am not the biggest fan of Sauvignon Blanc. I did try theirs and it was pretty good. Especially at $32 winery price. It was round, viscous and beautifully balanced with an elegant finish.

Right in there with the best in the tasting. But you will want to wait 10-15 yrs for its best self.

Another 2022 that is well made. It is simply not ready. Needs another 7 yrs plus in bottle. Add a point or two then.

This was good. There were some well made 22’s.
This is a different wine every yr, different cooks & vineyards.
Sold by the Oakville Growers.

Been a bit since my last but still do not think much of the style of their Cabernet. Especially, given its price point.

This 2013 was a nice treat and drinking beautifully. A top three wine that I tasted.

Nice Cabernet and showing some nice development in only a 5 yrs in bottle. Better things still ahead. Plus a point or two in another 7-8 yrs.

@Delectable this is the Le Chapeau Blanc
This was a bit more extracted than I like in a Cab Franc but nice, better w/ 8-10 yrs in the cellar.

First time having this bottling. A decently made 22. It was smooth and elegant but lacked a bit of depth & character that day.
