Paul Hobbs is one of the most widely respected and acclaimed winemakers in California having not only garnered a reputation for his own incredible quality wines since his inaugural 1991 releases, but also for his stints at Opus One, Peter Michael and Simi Winery. To Kalon is a single vineyard in Oakville of near mythical status and reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine showcases deep, dense fruit characteristics, accompanied by herbal and earthy undertones.

Dark ruby-red. Urgent aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice, menthol and violet. Densely packed, chewy and concentrated but less liqueur-like and thick than a sample I tried two years ago for my 2007 Cabernet horizontal, conveying a slightly inky quality to its vibrant dark berry and floral flavors. Quite juicy, and already displaying a captivating subtle sweetness, but this wine still needs time to unfold and knit. Plenty of baby fat here but the tannins are not yet resolved. (My bottle had already thrown a good bit of sediment.) This youthful wine may yet go in the direction of the superb 2001. Hobbs told me he did substantial crop-thinning in 2007 (his ultimate production was just 2.7 tons per acre), and that he aged this wine entirely in new Taransaud barriques. (15.2% alcohol; 3.75 pH; 5.5 g/l acidity)
