Well. These vintages are becoming rarer and rarer now that Beyoncé and Jay Z popularize it. Plum, graphite, tobacco on the nose. Poised and elegant on the palate, with silky fruit, fine grain tannins and a minera edge to it 👌🏻 — 9 months ago

Completely unique. Rieslingesque in its fruit, minerality and transparency. With a rhone-like texture, relatively subdued acid and a tropical hint on the nose. Very interesting; a little too sweet for food right now. — 5 years ago

Complete funk. Tons of herbs and a hint of fruit. It was a little too natural for my liking. — 7 years ago

Mariano García’s final vintage at Vega Sicilia. What a great bottle.

The nose opens with damp forest floor, leather, cedar, and quiet red fruit; subtle, reserved, endlessly composed.

On the palate, it’s silk laid gently over structure: dried cherry, tobacco, graphite, and savory earth carried by fine-grain tannins and measured acidity.

The finish reads like the final lines of a great novel: inevitable, complete, and exactly as it should be. And already, there’s a touch of nostalgia, because I don’t know when I’ll encounter something like this again. — 6 months ago

A beauty. Sweet wine perfect with Thai food. Mix of white fruits all balanced together with peach, apricot, pineapple, and lychee notes. Intensely aromatic nose that could be smelled across the table. — 9 months ago

I don't know how it actually tastes on its own - made sangria with it using fruit/berries, mint, grenadine, and infused vodka. Delightful! $13 — 10 months ago

The owners of Hobel Wines came to town and put on a nice tasting, while also detailing their history. Very nice people and wines. They make two wines, both Cabernets from Calistoga. TRB is the winemaker.

I preferred this over The Figure. This could be a dead ringer for a Rivers-Marie Cabernet. TRB signature style of showing the entire fruit spectrum...raspberries, black cherry, blueberries. Dark cocoa in the middle showing a finish that turned more herbal and savory. Really enjoyable. — 7 years ago
