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.
Summary
The Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon from Stage Coach Vineyard 2011 is a distinct red wine sourced from a prominent high-elevation site in Napa Valley, characterized by volcanic soils. This limited release, produced in a cool and wet vintage, showcases a meticulous sorting process and small-lot fermentations, resulting in a concentrated flavor profile. The wine presents vibrant aromas of dark fruits, particularly cherry and blackcurrant, accented by notes of cured tobacco and floral hints. On the palate, it is broad and fleshy, featuring velvety tannins that contribute to its structure and a lengthy, smoky finish with a plummy aftertaste. This wine reflects the precision and expertise of Paul Hobbs, known for crafting site-driven expressions. Blend percentages are not specified.
