FEATURES
🏰 The 2020 Paul Hobbs Cristina's Signature is the 【inaugural, highly limited vintage of a wine created by Paul Hobbs' wife, Cristina】, a testament to perseverance in a challenging year for California. Despite heatwaves and wildfires, meticulous vineyard management and selection ensured this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville's volcanic soils showcases its full character, with only 200 cases produced.
Exhibiting a deep garnet hue, it captivates with a lush bouquet of crushed blackberry, wild sage, fresh cigar box, and a delicate tobacco leaf note, alongside ripe blackberries, dark cherries, plums, and vanilla. Blackcurrant and graphite, like lead pencil, with intense, perfectly ripe fruit, are also present. The palate is remarkably balanced with elegant, supple tannins and fresh acidity, wrapping around red currant, dark chocolate, and boysenberry, with subtle notes of dried herbs and vanilla. It's full and polished, with tannins that melt into the wine, rich yet fresh, and a long, lingering finish.
🍴 This powerful Cabernet Sauvignon is excellent with grilled dry-aged ribeye, roasted lamb, venison, or other robust red meat dishes.
🥂 A highly sought-after, limited-production inaugural vintage from a renowned winemaker, perfect for a collector, a celebratory dinner, or as a luxurious gift. Best enjoyed after 2027. Decanting for 1-2 hours is recommended to allow the wine to fully express itself. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
