Wine Description

Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2019, a creation of winemaker Paul Hobbs with consulting winemaker expertise, presents itself as a work of art in a glass.

In the glass, it reveals a translucent garnet robe, inviting exploration of its intricate aromas. The bouquet is a harmony of blood orange, boysenberry, and freshly bloomed violets. As it caresses the palate, its voluptuous texture gives way to a symphony of flavors. Bergamot, wild cherry, and crushed pomegranate seeds intermingle, while subtle hints of sage add complexity.

This Pinot Noir is a masterclass in balance. The integration of acid and plush tannins is seamless, further elevated by the distinctive red clay minerality of the region. This minerality not only captures the essence of the terroir but also imparts a refreshing note to the finish.

Critical acclaim lavishes praise on this vintage. Wine Spectator’s 91 points highlight its well-contoured, spiced character. Wine Advocate’s 93 points note its vibrant fruit and long, spicy finish. James Suckling, also awarding 93 points, describes it as pretty, with fine tannins, well-balanced acidity, and notes of tobacco and vanilla.

In summary, the 2019 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley is an exquisite testament to the craftsmanship of its makers and the uniqueness of its terroir, offering a sensory journey that is both captivating and harmonious.

Contoured and well-spiced, with roast beef accents to the dried cherry and berry flavors. Ends with concentrated hot stone and underbrush accents on the open-textured finish.

WA – March 23, 2023
Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir opens with broody cranberries and blackberries with touches of earth and charcuterie. The medium-bodied palate is a bit brighter than the nose would lead you to believe, with a grainy, fresh frame and gregarious, spicy fruits. It’s a pretty expression that combines powerful fruit with a lighter frame than might be expected from the Russian River Valley.
JD – March 23, 2023
Moving to the reds, the 2019 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley offers a medium ruby/purple hue to go with a beautiful perfume of mulberries, black cherries, Asian spices, and roasted herbs. Playing in the medium-bodied end of the spectrum, it still brings plenty of fruit, with a great mid-palate and outstanding length on the finish. It’s common in 2019 for the Russian River Valley Pinots to show a beautiful sense of freshness and elegance, and this wine delivers those qualities in spades. It can be drunk any time over the coming 7-8 years.

JS – March 23, 2023
Pretty aromas of red cherries, ripe wild strawberries and rooibos tea. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and well-balanced acidity that keeps the sweet red and black-cherry character going throughout. Added notes of tobacco and vanilla stick come in. Drink now.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir grapes exhibit a distinct elegance. Their thin skins and tightly clustered berries make them susceptible to disease and challenging to cultivate. However, the rewards of this persnickety grape are extraordinary. Pinot Noir wines possess a remarkable flavor profile, often described as silky, with vibrant acidity, delicate tannins, and an array of aromas. Expect to encounter red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, accompanied by earthy undertones, floral hints, and sometimes a touch of spice. Renowned regions such as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley in Oregon, and California's Sonoma County have become synonymous with exceptional Pinot Noir production. Each region brings its own terroir and climate, contributing to the wine's character. Burgundy, for instance,... Read More
