Happy Thanksgiving! 1hr+ decant and needed a ton more. Definitely decant this for 3 hours. Wine was dark red with bourbon, alcohol, and cedar on the nose. Over the course of dinner and the next few hours it changed multiple times. It finally finished with a lovely combination of dark cherries, bramble, cedar, and rustic flavors. Medium plus depth and finish. Was awesome! — 14 days ago

Lovely but not as good as I was anticipating. I think my expectations were too high. Probably needs more age. Chardonnay like with metallic and melon tones. — 19 days ago

Really good! Very similar to a high quality, mature Bordeaux. 30+ minute decant but fades fairly quick so probably doesn’t need it. See previous notes. — 5 days ago

Magnum. 1.5hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Still young. Blue and black fruit dominate. Hints of spice, earth, and oak throughout. Medium plus depth. Just my style for a Napa Cab! — 12 days ago

Paul Hobbs two nights in a row! Gold color. Very deep, thick wine with subtle acidity. Aged pineapple with stone fruits and subtle apricot, peach, and melon elements. Fairly unique and complex in my mind. I prefer other single vineyard Paul Hobbs Chards style wise but wasn’t bad by any means. 93.5 rounding up. — 11 days ago

Riesling on Thanksgiving is turning into a tradition!

Better than previous bottles. Nicely balanced between petrol, sweetness, and acidity. Wine could have used a little more zip, but high quality. Paired well with cheese and shrimp cocktail.
