Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River Valley Fraenkle Cheshier Vineyard 2021

$95

This has nice coiled-up intensity, with loganberry, mulberry and plum notes carried by racy, mouthwatering acidity and backed by subtle briar, anise and black tea notes. The lengthy finish lets the fruit ripple on. Best from 2024 through 2031. 196 cases made.

Summary

Grape

Pinot Noir

This popular red grape originated in Burgundy but has spread across the New World. Like its white Burgundian counterpart Chardonnay, Pinot Noir is early-budding, early-ripening and thin-skinned. The sites where it tends to thrive can experience tough growing conditions, which lead to more rigorous fruit selection and lower yields. This is one of the reasons that high-quality Pinot Noir often carries a higher price tag than other wines.
