The Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is an expression of provenance from the renowned Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Oakville AVA. This wine is crafted entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, harvested from a site noted for its alluvial soils and optimal climate, which contribute to the fruit`s distinctive character. Paul Hobbs, a pioneer in vineyard management and winemaking, employs methods such as spontaneous fermentation and 20 months of ageing in French oak barrels. The wine presents layers of dark fruit, cocoa and structured tannins.

Vinous
Bright medium ruby to the rim. Vibrant aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet and graphite minerality. Densely packed, tactile and quite primary, conveying a strong impression of energy to its intense flavors of blue and black fruits, flowers and minerals. Still a bit youthfully blocky and compact today, this very chewy, backward Cabernet finishes with plenty of tannic clout to support a slow evolution in bottle, spreading out nicely on the aftertaste. This wine does not yet show the subtle sweetness of the equally backward 2012 and will need considerable patience. (14.7% alcohol; 3.78 pH; 6.0 g/l acidity)
