Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

99 Points - limited                                                          One of Napa Valley's most collectible Cabernet's from Paul Hobbs - very limited.  99 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "More expressive and open-knit, the Paul Hobbs 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard sports a similar ruby/purple to go with an incredible array of black raspberry, cassis, flowery incense, orange blossom, smoked tobacco, and exotic spice. As are all To Kolans, it's incredibly perfumed and complex aromatically, and it's one of those wines that changes every time you come back to the glass. Full-bodied on the palate, it offers beautiful richness and depth, a light, graceful mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a heavenly finish. It's another magical wine from this talented winemaker that readers will absolutely love." 98+ Points Robert Parker:  "Deep garnet-purple colored, the Paul Hobbs 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (a barrel sample) slowly, sensuously emerges from the glass with compelling spice notes of cinnamon stick, cloves and cumin seed, followed by a gorgeous core of warm cassis, blackberry pie and stewed plums plus suggestions of unsmoked cigars and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit preserves with a firm yet plush texture and loads of freshness, finishing long and spicy." ...Paul Hobbs has emerged as one of the great success stories in Northern California. He’s an international consultant known for his outstanding work in Argentina. He is also now involved in a joint venture in the Finger Lakes region of New York, so hopefully we can anticipate some interesting Rieslings and possibly Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Blanc and even Gewurztraminer emerging from New York State."
