2011 Paul Hobbs Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Paul Hobbs' 2011 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from vineyards of fine pedigree such as State Lane, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Beckstoffer Las Piedras, and Stagecoach. The small 2011 harvest resulted in a wine of elegance and purity that stands out because of the terroir of the fine sites that Paul Hobbs cultivates. From the winery: "Aromas include cassis, lavender, fresh crushed sage, black olive and cedar. The generous and savory palate excites with black fig, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and graphite. The wine finishes long and pure with an element of fine, damp black clay."
