Paul Hobbs Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2012

Russian River Pinot at its most sophisticated and mineral-driven.

Dark cherry concentration opens with haunting lavender perfume. Graphite minerality cuts through rich fruit. Sage and herb undertones add complexity. Iron backbone provides structure without harshness. Silky texture belies serious depth. Finish stretches endlessly with spice and earth. This will reward cellaring through 2025. Hobbs captures Russian River's dual nature perfectly. Elegant power.

🍷 You want proof that Russian River can produce Pinot with Burgundian gravitas.

Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Grilled lamb with herbs de Provence, Mushroom risotto, Aged gruyere
