Paul Hobbs Russian River Pinot Noir (B)

Profile & Story

This is Paul Hobbs' appellation Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, the same bottling as row 101 above -- research did not turn up a second, genuinely distinct current Paul Hobbs Russian River Valley Pinot Noir at a comparable price point (Paul Hobbs' vineyard-designate bottlings, such as Cuvee Agustina/Katherine Lindsay Estate, retail well above $100). The two rows most likely reflect two vintages or menu updates of the same wine at different price points. The wine is hand-sorted, indigenous-yeast fermented, and aged in a mix of new and neutral French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Pairing Recommendation

Pairs well with roast duck, grilled pork chops, or a charcuterie board.
