Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
Back when I tasted the 2006 on release this was my favorite of the Cabs that year from PH. Incredibly lush and balance, it still is very youthful with pure, fresh and structured black and red fruits, campfire notes and toast. This is drinking extremely, and has another 10 years easy to go.

The palate is full bodied and impeccably balanced. Dense with ripe, sweet tannin this finishes really long. The cooler Carneros location of the Hyde vyd adds freshness on the finish.

Really enjoyed this carneros cab. The cooler site led to less fruit forward and bright fruits. Instead much more gripping and dark black fruits that paired well with meatballs and Rao’s sauce. Paul Hobbs always reliable.

These are ready to drink. Black fruit galore. Very nice structure, depth and finish. Acid, fruit and tannins are well balanced.
