Paul Hobbs Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon '20

Earning 97 points, this single-vineyard Cabernet represents the pinnacle of St. Helena terroir. The 2020 vintage presents profound aromas of crème de cassis, violets and pencil lead. The palate is dense yet precise, offering flavors of blackberry compote, dark chocolate and graphite, supported by velvety tannins. Aged 22 months in French oak (75% new), the finish lasts over a minute, revealing subtle floral and mineral nuances. Decant 2+ hours for special occasions with dry-aged ribeye.
