Excellent blend (80% cab, 16% merlot and 4% cab franc) from Napa (Paul Hobbs). Complex, low tannins and acidity, full bodied, tones of vanilla, blackberry, dark cherries and plum.
Long lasting in the mouth and super smooth and well balanced.
2013 was a great vintage in Napa and this wine is a good represantation of it.

PnP. Medium purple color. Dark fruit, licorice, rhubarb, and perfume. Quite lovely. Decent tannins and more Rhubarb and dirt covered roots/beets on the palate. Unique and complex. Medium minus depth and strong finish. 92.5.

Bangin in the 2013 magnum. Big fruit still but lots of cherry smoke and pepper as it opened. Two decanters, the last of the 2nd bottle dump was fabulous.
