2010 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard
ロバート・パーカーのワイン・アドボケイト (アントニオ・ガッローニ) 96ポイント
"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is rich, sumptuous and totally striking. It brings together all of the classic Dr. Crane qualities – expressive aromatics, silky tannins and voluptuous fruit, all with the crystalline purity of 2010. Juicy dark cherries, roses, sweet spices and crushed rocks are layered into the expressive finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
One of the greatest attributes of the Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignons is their ability to deliver incredible pleasure throughout their entire lives. I tasted a wide range of wines this year with Paul Hobbs and winemaker Megan Baccitich, including several past vintages of the flagship To Kalon, which confirmed that view. In particular, the 2001 and 2002 To Kalon Cabernets remain stunning, and the straight 1999 Napa Valley Cabernet was equally impressive."

Growing Season: 2010 graced Napa County with a long spring. In March, the young tender vine buds were protected from frost by blankets of fog. Late spring and mid-summer were mild, with temperatures slowly increasing throughout the season. Occasional heat spikes in late summer and early fall encouraged ripening and higher sugar levels. The wines from 2010 are structured and bright with well-articulated flavors.

Notes
This sophisticated dark crimson colored cabernet sauvignon offers aromas of cedar, black plum, toffee, wild blueberry and black tea leaf. The dense, powerful palate boasts layers of chewy black fruits, vanilla, cedar and cigar box, all of which are complemented by graphite and tar. The finish is tenacious; layers of fine tannins and dark fruit linger on the palate. This wine is rich, round and intense. Alcohol 14.9%
