Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River Valley George Menini Estate 2021

Assertive, with a forthright beam of plum, cherry and mulberry pâte de fruit flavors that stretch out nicely, carried by filigreed acidity and inlaid with subtle incense, potpourri and black tea notes. The finish is underscored by a subtle mineral tinge. Best from 2024 through 2032. 639 cases made.

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.
