Yacoubian-Hobbs 2018 Areni - Vayots Dzor, Armenia
Paul Hobbs Yacoubian-Hobbs 2018 Areni – Vayots Dzor, Armenia
The Yacoubian-Hobbs 2018 Areni is an extraordinary collaboration between legendary Napa Valley winemaker Paul Hobbs and the Yacoubian family, showcasing the potential of Armenia's ancient Areni grape. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in Vayots Dzor and produced in a limited run of just 1,100 cases, this remarkable red wine has earned 95 Points from The Tasting Panel Magazine for its elegance, purity, and sense of place.
Bright aromas of strawberry, pomegranate, black cherry, lilac, and baking spice lead to a beautifully textured palate with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Aged for 20 months in stainless steel to preserve the character of this indigenous Armenian variety, this is a world-class expression of Areni from one of the country's most acclaimed producers.
