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 Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard 2013 is a remarkable single-vineyard wine from a prestigious Napa site known for its unique cobblestone terroir. This full-bodied Cabernet showcases a rich and complex flavor profile, with notable notes of dark berries such as blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by hints of plum and subtle earthiness. Aged for 20-22 months in new French oak, it presents a luxurious mouthfeel supported by fine tannins and a refreshing acidity. The wine's minerality and depth are enhanced by layers of graphite, tobacco, and spice, making it a compelling choice for aging. Limited production adds to its exclusivity, with only a few hundred cases produced.
Tasting Notes
- WA98
- The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard displays loads of charcoal, barbecue smoke, blueberry and blackberry fruit, an opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, and hints of charcoal and subtle oak in a full-bodied, multi-dimensional style. Drink it over the next 20 years.
- JS98
- Fabulous aromas of sweet tobacco in a curing barn, black currants, stones and spices. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and superb length. Graphite. Very, very complex. Super structure. Better in 2020.
