The Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 is a distinct expression from one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious terroirs. Sourced exclusively from the historic Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, this wine benefits from its deep, well-drained alluvial soils, which influence the grape`s profile. Paul Hobbs, an established name in winemaking, practices meticulous vineyard management and employs spontaneous fermentation techniques. Typically aged for approximately 20 months in French oak barrels, this Cabernet Sauvignon presents characteristics of dark fruits, cocoa and spice, alongside structured tannins.

Robert Parker
Not surprisingly, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard is a profound Cabernet Sauvignon. The equivalent of a Bordeaux first-growth Pauillac, it boasts abundant quantities of creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, cedar, and subtle smoky oak and espresso notes. Atypically sexy for a 2006, it is full-bodied with oodles of concentrated black fruits, stunning purity and length, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. It should hit its apogee in 3-4 years, and last for three decades or more. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
