| Description: | Paul Hobbs is one of the true masters in the wine world. It doesn't seem to matter where he makes wine, or with what grape; anything he makes is simply fantastic! With a Masters degree in Viticulture and Enology, Paul started his winemaking career working side-by-side with Robert Mondavi, who handpicked Paul for the inaugural Opus One team. After helping to launch Opus One, Paul served as a winemaker at Simi Winery before consulting at several famed estates, including Peter Michael, Lewis Cellars, and Argentina's Bodegas Catena. Paul Hobbs produces some of the most highly-praised and consistent Pinot Noirs in Sonoma County. Sought for their complex flavors, seamless textures and long finishes, the Paul Hobbs wines tend to be fairly allocated, as only the better wine shops and restaurants can get their hands on these gems. The West Sonoma Coast appellation is one of the newest in California and lies along a mountainous, rugged stretch of coastline characterized by a cold maritime climate that pushes the boundaries of traditional viticulture. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the West, this challenging climate yields wines beloved for their vibrant acidity, firm structure and pure fruit flavors. One of the newest sub-appellations of Sonoma, this area's distinctive wines offer a striking contrast to the soft, round wines of warmer inland regions. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 Points - "The 2022 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast is bursting with pomegranate and briar fruit, and it has loads of fine accents including allspice, licorice, sagebrush, tea leaves and blood orange. The light-bodied palate features nuanced, layered fruit. It has gently chalky tannins, bright acidity and a long finish laced with spice. This boasts a lot of complexity for such a lifted, ethereal frame. 1,600 cases were produced, and it will be released in March of 2024." |
