The opulence of the Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 is hinted at in its rich, black garnet color in the glass. The subsequent aromas and flavors confirm the decadence of this vintage. Fragrances of ripe berries, green olives, and graphite mingle with the spice of cracked black pepper. The palate is dense, with chewy tannins and a cascade of flavors. Black currants, Herbs De Provence, cigar box, and baker’s cocoa coat the palate. The finish is captivating, with hints of iodine and spice.
