Hobo 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $22
This Zinfandel specialist tries its hand at Cabernet, with excellent results. With modest alcohol, the wine is thoroughly ripe, showing complex flavors of blackberries, crème de cassis, herbs and cedar. It will be fascinating to watch this Bordeaux-style wine develop over the years.

Hobo 2008 Branham Rockpile Vineyard Zinfandel (Rockpile)
- $30
A beautiful Zin, dry and spicy. Shows lush, intricate flavors of blackberries, black raspberries, anise, pepper, cola and cedar. A very fine interpretation of a dusty Sonoma Zinfandel.

Hobo 2008 Treborce Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Hobo’s Zins are almost always among the most balanced and elegant out there, while preserving the variety’s spicy, briary personality. This lovely single-vineyard bottling is dry and refined, showing complex flavors of blackberries, cherries, raspberries, blueberries and spices. Drink now.

A lusty, full-bodied, spicy Zinfandel, showing the variety’s briary, brambly character and flavors of wild summer raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, white pepper and sandalwood. Fully dry and vigorous in tannins, it defines classic Zinfandel.

Hobo 2007 Zinfandel (Rockpile)
- $28
Rich and briary, with that exotic, hot summer afternoon fresh berry tang, this Zin delights for its flavors of wild blackberries, currants, cherries, mulberries, chocolate, anise and pepper. So clean. You can taste the summer sun in every sip.

Hobo 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- $20
This is not an ageable Cab, but it is balanced and complex, and has more than $20 worth of elegance. Dry and softly tannic, the Provençal herb, black cherry and oak flavors make you reach for a second glass.

Hobo 2007 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $22
Strikes a nice balance of ripe berry and chocolate flavors, firmed with softly smooth tannins, and a deep earthy-spiciness suggesting sweet tobacco, anise and sage. Turns lush and intricate toward the finish. This is a really nice Zinfandel.

Hobo 2007 Treborce Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Higher in alcohol than Hobo’s other ’07 Zins, the Treborce is also a bit hotter in the mouth. It has a tug of chili pepper heat with the intensely ripe blackberry, cherry, milk chocolate and spice flavors. Needs barbecue and similar rich fare to do its thing.
