Russian River Pinot that marries Burgundian elegance with California richness perfectly.

Dark cherry opens with haunting lavender perfume. Graphite minerality cuts through concentrated fruit. Sage herbs add complexity without overwhelming. Iron backbone provides structure for decades. Silky texture belies serious tannins underneath. This 2019 captures Russian River's foggy terroir brilliantly. Finish lingers with smoky mineral notes. Peak drinking 2025-2035 but rewards patience. Hobbs delivers Burgundian restraint with New World power.
