2007 Paul Hobbs Dr. Crane: Napa Royalty in a Glass
Some winemakers make good wine. Paul Hobbs makes legends. Over the past 40 years, this Napa rockstar has crafted some of the most coveted bottles in the world.
Handpicked by Robert Mondavi for his expertise in oak aging, Hobbs played a major role in shaping Opus One, Simi, and consulted for Peter Michael, Fisher, and other elite wineries before launching Paul Hobbs Winery in 1991. His specialty? Single-vineyard stunners from Northern California’s most prized terroirs.
Beckstoffer Dr. Crane – The Grand Cru of Napa
If Napa had royalty, Dr. Crane Vineyard would wear the crown. Originally planted in 1858 by Dr. George Belden Crane, this Saint Helena gem has been under the meticulous care of Andy Beckstoffer since 1997.
With well-drained gravel soils and a prime valley floor microclimate, it produces some of the most opulent, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon out there.
Wine critic Robert Parker himself has compared the wines from Dr. Crane to top-tier Graves from Bordeaux, raving about their “scorched earth, crème de cassis, and graphite” profile.
In short? This is Napa Valley royalty, and in the hands of Paul Hobbs, the 2007 vintage is nothing short of a masterpiece.
