Paul Hobbs In- Stock
“From one of Northern California’s most accomplished and respected wine consultants and producers, the 2012s and 2013s will create high expectations, and readers are unlikely to be disappointed by Paul Hobbs and his team.” -Robert Parker The Wine Advocate2012 Paul Hobbs Ross Station Chardonnay...$65.99
The 2012 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate (their first vintage of this cuvée) comes from the Mt. Eden clone planted in a cool area of the Green Valley section of Russian River, next to the Reuling Vineyard that Mark Aubert made famous. It offers up notes of lemon blossom, white peach, pineapple, honey and subtle oak. With great acidity, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and stunning length (it has a 40+-second finish), this profound Chardonnay should drink well for 7-10 years.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Advocate
2012 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard....$72.99
Mouthwateringly juicy in bright tart cherry fruit, this is lush, with delicate acidity and completely resolved tannins. It provides a masterful study in how to balance an exuberance of ripe California fruit while still offering finesse and restraint.

2013 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River...$54.99
“The 2013 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is quite pretty, with a little more aromatic nuance, brightness and overall delineation than the 2012, but a bit less mid-palate exuberance. Dark red cherries, blueberries, cloves, lavender and mint flesh out in a juicy Russian River Pinot full of near-term appeal. There is a savory, delicate quality in the 2013 that makes it irresistible. About 40% of this fruit is estate. ” — Antonio Galloni

2012 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley...$99.99
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon with the Paul Hobbs moniker is pretty serious wine that could easily win many a tasting. Dense purple in color, with notes of blackcurrants, blackberry, charcoal and incense, the wine is full-bodied, opulent and a big-time winner. This is a stunner that’s drinking well already and yet promises to age well for 15-20 years.
Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate
