Paul Hobbs Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2018

Dark cherry intensity meets graphite minerality in this compelling Russian River bottling.

Opens with concentrated dark cherry and lavender aromatics. Graphite minerality threads through the palate alongside dried sage and forest floor. Iron-laced tannins provide structure without overwhelming the fruit. Mid-palate density impressive. Finish extends with herbal complexity and subtle spice. This 2018 captures Russian River's cooler sites beautifully. Drinking well now but has years ahead.

🍷 You want serious Russian River Pinot that bridges elegance and power without compromise.

Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Grilled salmon with herbs, Mushroom risotto, Lamb with rosemary
