ALH Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 Review
ALH is a new project from world-renowned winemaker Paul Hobbs and his daughter Agustina Hobbs, who represents the next generation of the winemaking family. The first release from this new collaborative project is a Cabernet from Napa’s cooler-climate Coombsville AVA. The wine is powerful but has a wonderful restraint. The nose is shy at first with hints of black tea, herbs, and soft berries, but over time it blooms with notes of cacao, herbs, red plum, and juicy cherries. The palate is rich yet elegant. Tannic yet soft. It begs for more years in the bottle but also asks to be sipped now.
