Paul Hobs came to winemaking via studying to be a doctor and this scientific background and attention to detail has helped hone his approach to crafting wonderfully precise, complex wines in California and around the world. He has famously been called the ‘Steve Jobs’ of wine by Forbes magazine and it is clear that he is a driven perfectionist whose hard work has paid off with numerous 100-point scores from the critics.
This Cabernet Sauvignon derives great depth from the diverse terroirs of its pedigree vineyards within Coombsville, including Nathan Coombs Estate, State Lane, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Beckstoffer Las Piedras. Hand-sorted while still cold from the field, indigenous yeast fermentation, 29-day total maceration, pumpovers and delestage, spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrel, aged 18 months in French oak barrels; 53% new oak.
Tasting Note: Laced with striking deep blue hues from Napa's coolest Cabernet-growing region reveals complex and expressive aromatics. Blackberry and redcurrant intertwine with layers of fresh sage and thyme, while dark cacao is edged with a hint of graphite. On the palate, the wine is focused and vibrant with youthful energy, yet smooth and mouth-coating with fine-grained tannins.
Food match: Think aged goat cheese and jamón ibérico.
