2005 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, CA

Superior, bold, huge and rich… is exactly howRisqué likes his MEN Cabernet Sauvignon. One might construe Risqué to be a wine snob… However, one can definitely consider Risqué a Paul Hobbs snob!

The 2005’s deep and dark burgundy color is showy by maintaining its dark richness almost to the edge of the liquid. Licorice root, coffee, clove, baker’s cocoa and vanilla abound the nose in this unblended, unfined and unfiltered 100% Cabernet Sauvignon where superiority is attained in the mouth with incredible deep rich cherry, light vanilla and clove which eventually develops into a beautiful rich toffee. Overall, this Cabernet Sauvignon is big and lush and full-bodied!!!

Risqué …a self-professed wine snob rates the Paul Hobbs 2005 Cab at a superior 94 while Robert Parker (some other wine snob) rated the 2005 at a substantial 92 points…you choose!

Wine snob or not, trust Risqué …and you will become a Hobbs snob too!

Alcohol 14.6% ($65)
