Pretty nose of rose and violets, soft blue and red fruits, touch of cocoa, hint of fresh herbs, velvet in the mouth, smooth and lively grippy tannins that makes you want to go back for more, black rock and soil. — 15 days ago

We got to meet TRB during our visit. He was extremely friendly, welcoming, and engaging. Grapes were coming in throughout our time there. Super cool experience! — 13 days ago

This 09 was upgraded to 100 points by Lisa Perrotti formerly of Robert Parker in 2020. I didn’t taste a 💯 & the first time she & I have been this far apart.

This 09 was velvety, smooth, beautiful & elegant with nicely ripe fruits. But, it really lacked the depth & complexity I have come to expect from this producers bottling.

Touched into 94 with a few sips. Decanted a 1 1/2 hours & enjoyed over the next two hours.

@NepentheBigSur If you haven’t been there, well worth the time to visit. — 23 days ago

Ample black currant aromas overflowing from my glass. Oak. Roses. Spices. Black berry. Still fresh, but rounded. Balanced sweetness and spiciness. 2 hours, tropical fruits? Melted tannic, so smooth. With bitterness is also impacted. Vanilla, oak. Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Paul Hobbs Wines 18 @14960, Toscan, 240914 — 20 days ago

First of all Kudos to Ant Hill love the wax seal over cork! Deep Ruby with aromas of dark Berry fruits with notes of herbs, citrus, floral and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry, tea, vanilla and herb tones, well balanced with acidity. Firm fine tannins on a long finish ending with fruit and floral herb character. Very nice! Will age well! — a month ago
