2021 | Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet | St Helena Weingut Bernhard black pepper and a hintAbsolutely seductive, with incredible polish, precision, and opulence. Lead with youthful blue and black fruit aromatics. Full and plush on the palate with chocolaty tannins that are finely grained, imprinted with a palate saturating richness of sweet, ripe, black cherry, blackberry and plum fruits, nuanced by tobacco, and a distinct earthy and chalky minerality that penetrates the senses from the nose to the finish. 98 Pts Decanter
