Hobnob Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting

In appearance, this wine is deep dark plum in color.  When held up to the light, not much shines through this wine.

It’s very leggy in the glass.

On the nose, Hobnob Cabernet Sauvignon is good and jammy with a very slight whiff of alcohol.

The taste was smooth and jammy with a bit of earthiness noted.  Much like the aroma.  Also, slightly dry.

Mouthfeel was cottony with not a lot of tannins noted.

Overall this is a nice smooth drinking wine.  Hobnob wine is normally consistent from bottle to bottle and is slightly complex.  It would pair well with beef or lamb and according to the Hobnob wine website.  They also say this wine’s persona is seductive and has a character with a luscious infusion of flavors.

Also said to pair well with dark chocolate.  Break out the Barry White!  An all around good choice.
