Paul Hobbs Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
One of Napa Valley's most collectible Cabernets! 93 Points Robert Parker: "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals bombastic blackberry pie and blueberry compote notes with underlying cassis, dried herbs and unsmoked cigars scents plus a waft of pencil shavings. Full-bodied and jam-packed with black fruits and earthy layers, it has a solid, grainy frame and a long finish with a lively herbal lift." 93 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is just as delicious from bottle as it was from barrel. Deep, fleshy and super-expressive the 2016 has a lot to offer. Inky blue/purplish berry fruit, lavender, mint and spice notes all grace this alluring Napa Valley Cabernet from Paul Hobbs."

High expectations for this wine. Great vintage and great producer Starts out dark and closed. Appears to need a lot of airtime. Into the decanter 2 hours later it’s paired with short ribs and the fattiness seems to bring out some better flavor and the dark flavors really complement the meat. Post dinner this wine is beginning to show something but it’s still dark brooding and too tight. I’m going to let the other bottles sit for a few years. I’ve found the more recent coombsville wines from 2019 and forward to me a lot more open and fruity.

A couple of wines before our first day of turkey hunting. Good wine and good vintage.
