2012 Paul Hobbs, Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena, Case of 6 btls

Of the three Beckstoffer Vineyards, it?s pretty much a joyride as to which one readers may prefer. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard of St. Helena is a knockout: a broad, opulent, round Cabernet fruitbomb with lots of cassis, incense, and blackberry. The wine is full-bodied, generously endowed with terrific purity, texture and length. This is a star and, believe it or not, it?s come in well under 15% natural alcohol. This beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15 or more years.
