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 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- Cellar Selection

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.

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 2005 Zinfandel (Rockpile)
- $28
Dry, tannic and concentrated, a fierce, almost feral wine, but it’s classic in the way of California mountain Zins. Floods the mouth with blackberry essence, wrapped into strong tannins and finishing with a crisp burst of acidity. Compelling and complex, it cries out for a rustic beef or pork dish, long simmered and well-seasoned.

- Online Exclusive
- $20
Nice and balanced, an elegant Zin with classic flavors of wild cherries, cola, herbs and spices, with a delicate mouthfeel that finishes totally dry. A scour of dusty tannins gives it fine structure. Really notable for its silky purity.
