Paul Hobbs 2021 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

100 Points                                                      
One of Napa Valley's most collectible Cabernets from Paul Hobbs and the legendary Dr. Crane vineyard - limited.

98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck:  "Coming from a warmer site on the west side of St. Helena, the Paul Hobbs 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is deeper plum/purple hue and boasts a ripe, powerful nose of black fruits, spring flowers, lead pencil, and scorched earth. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it has a multi-dimensional, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, the vintage's freshness and purity, and a blockbuster of a finish. This heavenly Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and have 30+ years of overall longevity. It will probably merit a triple digit rating at maturity."

97 Points James Suckling: "Blackberries, hazelnuts, blackcurrants and flowers. Crushed stones, too. Full-bodied with firm, polished tannins that give a lovely, creamy texture
and just the right level of austerity. Hints of citrus, too. Ethereal and weightless. Beautiful and drinkable now, but will age beautifully."
