Note di degustazione
Blended from lots that didn't make the grade to be in the single-vineyard wine, Hobbs's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, with small portions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Matured in about 50% new French oak, it offers up hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings, plus scents of blueberries, cassis, loam and vanilla. It's medium to full-bodied and reasonably concentrated, with intense flavors and a velvety feel on the lingering finish. As far as Napa Cabs go, it's even a respectable value.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville (83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, and 4% Merlot) is another deep purple-hued effort from Hobbs that has sensational purity in its cassis and juicy blackberry fruits. These are supported by textbook notes of graphite, freshly sharpened pencils, and spring flowers. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, with ultra-fine tannins, a seamless, elegant texture, and outstanding length, this will compete with wine two to three times the price. It will evolve for 15-20 years.
