UNDER THE RADAR WINE TASTING:
Here are the wines we have selected to share with you.
- PAUL HOBBS CHARDONNAY - $59.99 Possesses great acid and obvious intensity~ just a brilliant wine that has plenty of citrus oil, white flowers, quince and peach flavors. 92 Pts Parker
- PAUL HOBBS PINOT NOIR - $62.99 Terrific! Bright, nuanced and savory, the straight Russian River Pinot has all the attributes of this strong vintage. Sweet floral notes round out a Pinot that is understated and silky.
- CROSSBARN CABERNET - $54.99 The wine has full-bodied opulence, a sumptuous mouthfeel, and is just a terrific, savory, expansive Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well for 15 or more years. 93 Pts Parker
- PAUL HOBBS CABERNET - $129.99 This is just beautiful, an earthy, graphite-laden, crème de cassis-scented wine with plenty of depth, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and a long, opulent finish. 93 Pts Parker / 92 Pts JS
- LAIRD JILLIAN’S BLEND - $29.99 I really like the juiciness of this wine, which has a dark ruby/purple color, lots of black cherry, mulberry, mocha, fruit and a nice tactile, fleshy impression with good purity, uplift and density in the long velvety finish. 91 Pts Parker
