Drinking this 2008 in 2026 and wow. What a treat. Dark berries. Subtle oak. Smooth silky on the tongue. What a bargain — 4 months ago

My head is spinning. I didn’t know 14.5% Cali Syrah could be so fresh and vibrant. — 7 years ago

Complete funk. Tons of herbs and a hint of fruit. It was a little too natural for my liking. — 7 years ago

Love this. Great balance. Tart/ripe cherry side of things. Oak comes through very strong but it’s so balanced that it works. Could decant for an hour or so. Glad I have another bottle — 8 years ago

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

This is an exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. It is a cool climate wine, more similar to a Sancerre than a new world SB. It knocked my socks off. — 7 years ago
