Considered one of the most respected figures in California wine, winemaker Paul Hobbs founded his winery in 1991. Seven years later, he purchased the estate in Sebastopol, where he established his cellar. Today, the company produces premium wines from specific appellations and single vineyards, which are pure expressions of the terroir and acclaimed worldwide.
Pinot Noir grapes are selected from various vineyards in the Russian River Valley appellation, between the Russian River and the Mayacamas Mountains. Here, coastal breezes bring cool air, encouraging the formation of morning fog and creating a perfect microclimate for Pinot Noir. After manual harvesting, fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in small stainless steel tanks, and the finished wine ages for 9 months in a mix of new and neutral oak barrels.
Paul Hobbs Russian River Valley Pinot Noir has an intense, dark ruby color with purple hues. On the nose, it reveals a fruity aromatic profile with notes of pomegranate, blackberry, and small red berries, followed by hints of bergamot, Mediterranean herbs, and tea leaves. On the palate, it is elegant and harmonious, with a medium-full body and lively acidity. It is fresh and mineral with fine, well-integrated tannins and a delicious, fruity finish. Try it with roast pork loin or pan-fried lamb ribs.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
