Paul Hobbs Ulises Valdez Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

From one of California's most celebrated winemakers Paul Hobbs. This is a rare single-vineyard Pinot release.94 Points Robert Parker:  "The 2012 Pinot Noir Ulises Valdez Vineyard reveals a big, meaty, premier cru Pommard-like character filled with kirsch liqueur, sassafras, bouquet garni and forest floor. Exuberant and full-bodied, sadly, there are only 313 cases of this big-time winner. Drink now-2025...Paul Hobbs is undoubtedly one of the world’s finest consultants, and as Americans we’re lucky to have this New York State-born winemaking guru right in the heart of the Russian River, turning out a bevy of wines from both Napa (reviewed in issue 215) and the following items from their estate vineyards in Sonoma as well as from purchased fruit. Hobbs has a separate entity now, which is aimed at producing good value wines under the Cross Barn by Paul Hobbs moniker. There’s some juicy, high-quality stuff in these cuvées."
