Experience the elegance of Napa Valley’s most coveted vineyard with Paul Hobbs’ limited-production 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer To Kalon. Aged in 85% new French oak for refined structure, this wine showcases a deep garnet hue and an intoxicating bouquet of ripe black plums, cassis, and black raspberries, layered with hints of cedar, pencil lead, and exotic Sichuan pepper.

Critics agree—this is a standout vintage:
– 98 Points, Wine Advocate: “Opulent and plush, with spicy red and blackberry layers leading to a perfumed, lingering finish.”
– 98 Points, James Suckling: “Polished tannins frame intense blackberry and violet notes—best after 2025 for peak finesse.”
– 96 Points, Wine Spectator: “Vivid cassis and kirsch flavors meld with cocoa and warm loam for a smoldering, age-worthy finish.”
