The Winery

Paul Hobbs Winery

Paul Hobbs Winery was founded in 1991 by its devoted winemaker of the same name who focused on using minimally invasive winemaking techniques to create products true to their varietals. Located in the city of Sebastapol, the winery focuses on single-varietal made from Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay from leading vineyards spanning from Sonoma to Napa County.

The 2002 “Beckstoffer To Kalon” Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is one of an exclusive group of wines to reach 100 points awarded by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. The visual, bouquet and palate characteristics are most remarkable for their striking and dynamic attributes in each unique statement of the wine. Their level of quality has continued as the winery has developed over the years, and Benchmark Wine Group is delighted to share it with you.

Tasting Notes

WA95–98
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard boasts a sumptuous nose of blueberries, black raspberry jam and wet rocks that provide a hedonistic blast of fruit as well as exceptional minerality. With glorious richness in the mouth, fabulous purity, a skyscraper-like texture and an elegant style without heaviness, this sensational and compelling Cabernet Sauvignon should be one of the superstars of what looks to be a vintage loaded with big hitters. It should age effortlessly for 20+ years.
JS94
Aromas of ripe blueberry, blackberry and mineral. Black currants too. Full body, silky tannins and bright acidity. Very intense and linear with loads of fruit that are held together with a solid tannin backbone. Better in 2017.
