Few names command as much respect in Napa Valley as Paul Hobbs, a pioneering winemaker whose meticulous vineyard focus has helped redefine American Cabernet Sauvignon. After honing his craft in California, South America, and Europe, Hobbs built his winery on a simple philosophy: extraordinary wines begin with extraordinary vineyards. His single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons are among Napa's most sought-after bottlings, each showcasing the unique personality of some of the valley's most prestigious sites. The 2012 Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the historic Las Piedras Vineyard in the St. Helena AVA. Originally planted in the 19th century, the vineyard takes its name—Spanish for "the stones"—from the large, well-drained volcanic rocks scattered throughout its soils. Today, under the stewardship of the Beckstoffer family, Las Piedras has earned a reputation as one of Napa Valley's elite Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, producing wines of exceptional concentration, structure, and elegance. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with small amounts of traditional Bordeaux varieties depending on the vintage, the 2012 vintage showcases everything that made this growing season one of Napa Valley's greatest. Warm, consistent weather allowed for near-perfect ripening, resulting in fruit with remarkable balance and intensity.
