The Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 is a notable expression from Napa Valley’s St Helena AVA, where the fertile, gravelly loam soils contribute to the wine`s character. Sourced solely from the esteemed Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard, this Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits concentration despite the challenges of the cooler, wetter 2011 growing season. Savoury notes of dark fruit, cedar and earthy undertones emerge, complemented by a firm tannic structure. The fruit was meticulously selected, aiming to capture the vineyard`s unique profile. Paul Hobbs, a pioneer in California winemaking, applies an attentive approach that enhances terroir expression.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is powerful, deep and super-expressive. The 2011 is just beginning to enter its plateau of maturity. This is an especially savory, dark, imposing Crane. Black cherry/plum fruit, grilled herbs, chocolate and licorice give this brooding Cabernet quite a bit of character. This warm site clearly had an advantage in dealing with the challenges of 2011. The style is lavishly rich and oaky, but all the elements are also well balanced, especially within the context of the year.
