Paul Hobbs Winery was founded in 1991 by established winemaking consultant Paul Hobbs. Located in Sebastopol in Sonoma County, the winery specializes in single-vineyard varietal wines made from Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Chardonnay. Hobbs already had an impressive resumé as a consultant before establishing his own winery, which has gone on to receive significant recognition.
Paul Hobbs started his career working for Robert Mondavi in 1978, and was involved with the creation of Opus One – the collaboration between Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of the Bordeaux first growth Mouton Rothschild. Hobbs consulted with Simi Winery and championed the Argentinian wine industry while at Bodega Catena Zapata. The connections Hobbs made allowed Paul Hobbs Winery to achieve financing in a difficult period when California was suffering from phylloxera in the early 1990s.

| Robert Parker | RP97 - After the perfect 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard that's right I raised my score by a point the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon comes across as slightly more mortal. One of the outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons of the vintage it tastes like a California concoction of La Mission Haut Brion and Montrose. Its deep purple color is followed by a sumptuously pure nose of sweet scorched earth hot rocks creme de cassis graphite and charcoal. The tannin is sweet but elevated. Full-bodied and powerful with 20-25 years of life this spectacularly rich dense multi-layered effort oozes classic Cabernet Sauvignon varietal character. |
