The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard showcases a deep almandine garnet color in the glass. The wine's powerful nose is true to its origin, offering captivating aromas of black fruit and currant, elegantly intertwined with enchanting notes of purple florals, cacao, and graphite. On the palate, a delightful savory hint of sage harmonizes with flavors of black cherry and ripe blueberry, supported by velvety, supple tannins. The mouthfeel and finish are characterized by a remarkable tension and a lingering, textural pleasure that engages the senses.

Fabulous aromas of blue fruits and slate. Very perfumed. Full body and polished, velvety yet fine-grained tannins that are lightly austere. Love the Spanish-cedar, cigar-box, tobacco and herbal character. Wonderful finish. Fresh and savory. Drink or hold.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and displaying a deep garnet-purple color, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard opens with pronounced crème de cassis, mocha, black forest cake and cloves over lavender, bay leaf and menthol nuances. Full-bodied, concentrated and seductive, it has a gorgeous velvety texture and plenty of freshness lifting the opulent flavors, finishing with a spices and herbs kick.  Lisa Perrotti-Brown

One of the highlights in this range, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard is superb. Beams of tannin give the 2014 its rich, explosive personality. Crème de cassis, graphite, gravel, smoke, licorice and blueberry jam hit the palate. Exuberant and yet also structured, the 2014 is shaping up to be a real gem. The Piedras is the most brooding and tannic of the Hobbs Cabernets. It also is highly representative of site.  Antonio Galloni
