Hobbs delivers structured elegance with mineral backbone and herb-laced dark fruit.

Dark cherry mingles with lavender and dried sage. Graphite minerality threads through concentrated fruit. Iron-tinged tannins provide backbone without overwhelming. Mid-palate shows beautiful weight and texture. Finish lingers with herbal complexity and subtle spice. This 2020 balances Russian River's fruit-forward nature with serious structure. Ready now but will reward patience through 2032.
