Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2014

Categories , ,

Today, we are lucky enough to have secured a tiny allocation to offer you from one of the finest wineries in America. We’re talking about the illustrious Paul Hobbs (Robert Mondavi, Opus One and Simi alum) whose own winery has had countless praise heaped upon them from day one, including the rare-air distinction of joining wine royalty in the Robert Parker, Jr. 100-point club.

Paul Hobbs’ winery has built an extraordinary reputation for making the best of the best in Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from some of the most exclusive, lavish sites in all of the U.S. Each vintage, Paul seemingly effortlessly manages to get the most out of the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast and Napa Valley AVAs making wines that uniquely exemplify each individual terroir.

The 2014 is easily one of if not the best versions of this wine that Paul Hobbs ever created. Awarded two 95-point scores, that’s just scratching the surface for this great wine that continues to become something more profound every time I revisit. I have just five bottles to unleash for a short time. Enjoy them!

Original price was: $175.00.Current price is: $139.00.

95 Points, James Suckling

Aromas of tar, blackberries, cloves and dark chocolate. Perfumed. Full and focused with a beautiful center palate and length. Mostly from Nathan Combs in Coombsville with some Yountville-sourced fruit. Best ever.

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

The base release is the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon and it comes from multiple sites throughout the valley. It’s a killer wine and offers the classic sweet crème de cassis and blackberry fruit that’s the hallmark of the vintage. With full-bodied richness, notes of Asian spices, pencil lead, and cedar, and sweet tannin, it’s already drinking beautifully yet will keep for another two decades or more.

95 Points, James Suckling – 95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

Perhaps the greatest vintage Paul Hobbs ever made of his Napa Valley Cab was the 2014 vintage. He said so himself at the time. James Suckling did as well. But Paul also predicted that with a few years of age, it would reach new heights that it hadn’t touched when it was released in early 2016. I’m starting to see what he was talking about.  Both James Suckling and Jeb Dunnuck came in at an even 95, a fair score but maybe a tad bit too low for a wine that is continuing to grow and evolve. It’s still incredibly lively and fresh with a solid, firm tannins and a medium to full-bodied weight. I think it has another 10 years of prime to it, easy. This has Paul Hobbs’ mastery written all over it.
