RATINGS

98Vinous / IWC

Raspberry jam, blood orange, dried flowers, leather and scorched earth imbue the 2019 with tremendous character and nuance to match is driving personality...flat-out stunning.

96James Suckling

Aromas of dark cherries, blackberries. plums, cedar, rosemary and baking spices. Medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins. Round, creamy and layered with a chocolate character on the palate. Chewy long finish. Solid at the end.

94Wine Spectator

Ripe, juicy and focused, with a very enticing core built on cassis, plum reduction and boysenberry compote flavors, while graphite and warm earth details provide the underlying spine. Dark, toasted finish...a long echo of licorice root lingers.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...great nose of ripe currants, cassis, chocolate, and classy oak as well as some undeniable minerality. Full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant on the palate, it has loads of charm and character.

PRODUCER

Hobel Wine Works

Hobel Wine Works started as a dream in 1998, when Cameron Hobel and Thomas Rivers Brown met. Hobel had been a wine sales executive at several auction houses, including Christie’s, and had launched his own wine import company. Brown was a rising star in Napa Valley winemaking, first working as assistant winemaker at Turley Wine Cellars. For a decade Hobel and Brown talked about starting a wine project together, and in 2009 they produced their first Hobel Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Today the estate is owned by Hobel and his wife Bahaneh. Brown, now a highly acclaimed winemaker involved in numerous winemaking enterprises, makes Hobel wines. The estate produces a single Cabernet Sauvignon, generally available only through a mailing list.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Calistoga

Calistoga AVA is one of Napa Valley’s newer appellations, having been given appellation status in 2010. It is notable for its volcanic soil, which is unusual in the Napa Valley. Calistoga also experiences the greatest average 24-hour temperature swing of any Napa Valley AVAs, which Calistoga grape growers insist give the grapes time to “cool down” at night, making for better balanced wines. The 1,500 Calistoga vineyard acres are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah and Petite Sirah, along with smaller amounts of other varietals. Calistoga is at the northern end of Napa Valley, northwest of the Diamond District and St. Helena AVAs. Longtime winemaker Bo Barrett of Chateau Montelena, which is located in the Calistoga AVA, proposed the creation of the appellation.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
