Tasting with the #winehousela team @blackcordon @napavinters . A young wine with lots of potential to age. After a few hours in the decanter, delicious.

The black currant, plum and creamy blackcherry that was there from the start is now being joined by secondary nuances in the nose; like dried tangy black cherry, dried blueberry and cedar bark. There is also a nicely integrated, round, spicy floral component that envelopes the fruit. The feel is round and supple; kept lively by beautiful acidity and sweet tannin balance. A lovely mouthful of black cherry tinged black currant elixir carries effortlessly into a very long expansive finish dominated by creamy cassis. Drinking beautifully right now, especially with a couple hours or more of decanting. Just starting to show its expansive volume with plenty of years left, but it’s hard to resist right now…so I didn't!

Paul Hobbs is making making a solid wine from the Dunphy's vineyards in the mountains, hillsides and valley floor. Dark and brooding with both chocolate at the end and cherry at the beginning.
