Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard 2012

„Die Weine, die wir heute erzeugen, sind das Ergebnis von jahrelanger Beharrlichkeit, Geduld und von jahrelangen Versuchen in unserem weiter andauernden Wein-Abenteuer.“ (Paul Hobbs)

Pedantisches Weinbergs Management und minimalinvasive Technik im Keller erlauben es Weine zu erzeugen, die ihre Weinberge wiederspiegeln. Es wird mit natürlichen Hefen und französischen Eichenholzfässern gearbeitet, der Wein wird ungeklärt und ungefiltert abgefüllt.

- 98 Punkte Robert Parker WINE ADVOCATE: "Of the three Beckstoffer Vineyards, it’s pretty much a joyride as to which one readers may prefer. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane moves more toward the wet rock, blueberry, raspberry fruit spectrum, but still stays dark and foreboding, very concentrated and full-bodied. The great terroir comes through and the wine is distinctive, singular, opulent and rich. Another fabulous success from Paul Hobbs and one more showcase wine for this great vineyard. Anticipated maturity: now-2032.”

From one of Northern California’s most accomplished and respected wine consultants and producers, the 2012s and 2013s will create high expectations, and readers are unlikely to be disappointed by Paul Hobbs and his Team.

- 94 Punkte James Suckling: “ Aromas of ripe blueberry, blackberry and mineral. Black currants too. Full body, silky tannins and bright acidity. Very intense and linear with loads of fruit that are held together with a solid tannin backbone.“
