Subtle, peppery opening gradually gives way to a smooth, rounded conclusion, with a slightly acidic finale that lingers.

Rich, inky purple wine with a full-bodied texture. Its nose is controlled by by the sweetness of blueberry pie, with a nuanced black pepper and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the sweetness is tempered by unripe blueberries, which add a tartness that balances the acidity. The trail is pleasant, with a crisp, bright quality that contrasts nicely with the sweetness. Overall, a solid effort.

Rich and nuanced blend of vanilla, oak, and tobacco, with a full and velvety texture, and a delicate trace of red fruit and black fruit.

What the web is saying

Hobo Zinfandel is appreciated for its rich, full-bodied texture and complex flavors, including vanilla, oak, and spices. While some enjoy its smooth, velvety finish, others find it slightly acidic. The wine's balance of sweetness and tartness is often highlighted, with notes of red and black fruits. It's versatile for pairing with food, though opinions vary on its overall value and uniqueness.

Voss Experts4.5

This Hobo Zinfandel has an intense ruby to purple hue with heavy tearing. The wine is a bold and vibrant with aromas of jammy blackberry and plum. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and round with a rich and velvety texture and notes of dark chocolate and espresso, coupled with a hint of pepper. The ripe, succulent fruit profile is balanced by well-integrated acidity and supple tannins to create a well-rounded finish that lingers on the palate.

We are 50+ wine professionals (sommeliers, buyers, MW candidates) across the US, UK, France, Greece, Italy, and beyond. We review wines via blind tastings with a standardized rubric, using both 100-point and 5-star scales.
