Yacoubian-Hobbs 2019 Areni Red Wine 95 Points

Discover Armenia’s Finest: 2019 Areni Red Wine by Yacoubian-Hobbs

95 Points Rated | Elegant Complexity Meets Bold Flavors
Crafted by master winemakers at Yacoubian-Hobbs in Armenia’s storied wine regions, this 2019 Areni red wine redefines sophistication with its harmonious blend of power and grace. Perfect for connoisseurs seeking a refined yet dynamic experience, this bottle combines centuries-old Armenian winemaking traditions with modern innovation—ideal for special occasions or intimate gatherings.

Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Flavors
– Aromas: Experience a captivating bouquet of Morello cherry and strawberry preserves intertwined with warm baking spices and clove—a sensory invitation that draws you in immediately.
– Palate: On first sip, bright pomegranate acidity dances across your tongue before yielding to velvety layers of black cherry licorice and wet stone minerality. Subtle white pepper adds intrigue while refined tannins ensure a smooth finish that lingers invitingly.

Why This Wine Stands Out
– Unique Varietal Profile: The Areni grape thrives in Armenia’s terroir, offering unparalleled depth compared to international varieties like Cabernet or Merlot.
– Perfect Balance: While bold enough for hearty stews or grilled meats, its lighter body makes it surprisingly versatile—ideal for pairing with lighter fare like roasted vegetables or charcuterie boards.
– Award-Winning Craftsmanship: Recognized by Tasting Panel Magazine for its “unwavering elegance,” this wine strikes an enviable balance between approachability and complexity rarely found in single-varietal reds.

Elevate Your Experience
Whether you’re building a cellar-worthy collection or seeking a standout gift for wine lovers, this 14% ABV gem offers exceptional value at its category-defying price point. Pair it with Armenian dishes like dolma or khorovats for an authentic cultural experience—or simply enjoy it as a sophisticated solo sipper any time of year.
