Description: Paul Hobbs is an iconic brand known for outstanding Napa Valley wines. Minimally invasive winemaking techniques allows the wines to express their vineyard origins with finesse, complexity, and authenticity. Paul Hobbs worked on the inaugural vintage of Opus One at the start of his career. Paul Hobbs' Winery has operated since 1991. Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignons have earned 100 points from Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate twice within the last seven years. Extremely impressive!
This is wine worthy of a person who wants only the best and those with the opportunity to join the event, should really feel special. This wine is still young (reviewed 6/17/25) but has no rough edges. Aromas wood root, low-hanging violets, mullberries and cream. The palate is full-bodied but ethereal. Excellent acid/ alcohol balance, no heat spikes. Layered with the essence of myrtle berries, mint, cocoa, and vanilla-bean. The wine shows great depth which will continue to evolve with time.
Food pairings: Bay leaf inspired, beef (braised, grilled, roasted), cheese (brie, camembert, stinky, aged gouda), bittersweet chocolate, duck, filet mignon, lamb, mint, moroccan cuisine, mushrooms, short ribs, bbq, etc.
