New release - 94 pts A great new Pinot Noir release from one of California's most celebrated winemakers Paul Hobbs. Get the new vintage before the ratings come out. 94 Points Brix26: "The 2014 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is a gorgeous, mid-weight wine layered with expressive red berries, flowers and sweet spices. Silky tannins frame an exceptionally polished, refined finish. This is another flat-out beautiful wine from Paul Hobbs. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020. This is a dazzling set of Chardonnays and Pinots from Paul Hobbs." 91 Points Robert Parker: "The 2014 Pinot Noirs are richer wines. The 2014 Pinot Noir Russian River, which is in bottle, displays a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, medium to full body, and lots of raspberry and black cherry fruit that moves toward bluer fruits on the palate. This is a beauty to drink over the next 7-8 years....Paul Hobbs has emerged as one of the great success stories in Northern California."

Oh joys of Pinot! A much subtler Californian pinot built to last in the cellar. Cherries, mushrooms, spices and floral notes perfectly balanced on the nose and palate. My only complaint is the finish is a tad of a let down; a rather quick fade out with watery feel that lingers.

Mr Hobbs makes a nice glass of wine. Lots of cherry, little bit of oak, touch of spice

Big Sonoma Pinot.... cola notes and lots of deep almost honeyed bramble. Some heat on the finish but I love it.
