Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Stage Coach Vineyard 2012
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 from Stagecoach Vineyard 2012 is a distinguished Napa Valley wine, recognized for its rugged construction and rich character. Sourced from a high-elevation site known for its volcanic soils, this Cabernet showcases a complex profile with bold black and blue fruit flavors complemented by earthy and mineral notes. The wine features firm tannins and a full body, indicative of its age-worthiness, while the aging in French oak adds nuances of cedar and spice. With a long, saline finish, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Atlas Peak and is crafted for those who appreciate a powerful and structured red.
Tasting Notes
- WA92+
- The other vineyard Paul Hobbs has worked with for a long time is the Stagecoach Vineyard, a large site. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Stagecoach Vineyard is ruggedly constructed, with rustic tannins and earthiness, but Paul Hobbs’s brilliant touch in extracting beautiful blue and black fruits from Cabernet is well-displayed in this full-bodied age-worthy and tannic wine that should drink well for 15 or more years.
