My tasting with Paul Hobbs took place a little later than normal because of the October fires. I was blown away by the quality and consistency of the 2016 Cabernets, which are some of the very finest wines I have ever tasted here. The 2016s are powerful, but they also have great energy and faithfully express the personality of their respective sites. The bottled 2015s have turned out as good or better than I had expected based on barrel tastings in the fall of 2016.

Paul Hobbs' 2014s showed pretty much as I expected them to from bottle. The highlights are the Piedras and Nathan Coombs, two wines that have more than enough underlying structure to support the rich, voluptuous fruit Hobbs pulls from his vineyards. The Napa Valley bottling continues to benefit from the presence of fruit from Nathan Coombs, which has begun to add pedigree to that bottling. Like all of his colleagues, Hobbs had to deal with very challenging conditions in 2015. Cold, wet weather in May resulted in an uneven set, while heat spikes towards the end of the season further reduced the crop. Yields are down 30-35%, which is not a terrible result within the context of the year.
