Paul Hobbs' 2017 Cabernets have turned out beautifully. The vineyard designates are strong, but the wine that impressed me most, especially in its peer group, is the Napa Valley Cabernet, a wine that clearly benefits from the addition of lots that were not bottled separately. The 2018s, which I tasted from barrel, are promising, but not as expressive as Hobbs' wines often are at this stage. I won't be at all surprised if they turn out to be even better than these notes suggest.

Paul Hobbs's 2016 Cabernets are just viscerally thrilling today as they were when I tasted them from barrel in that year. I have never seen a vintage here with this much richness, freshness and pure pedigree. The 2017s are shaping up to be quite beautiful as well, although they don't appear to have the depth of their older siblings. Then again, that would have been next to impossible given the challenges of the growing season.
