Aristocratic Russian River Pinot with stunning mineral precision and haunting floral complexity.

Dark cherry mingles with lavender perfume. Graphite minerality cuts through rich fruit. Sage whispers alongside iron-laced earth tones. Silky texture belies serious structure underneath. Mid-palate shows remarkable depth - layers unfold slowly. Finish stretches endlessly with persistent mineral thread. This 2015 hits peak drinking now but holds another decade easily. Classic cool-climate elegance meets Hobbs' technical mastery. Outstanding vintage character shines through restrained winemaking approach.
