As pinot noir goes this is a fairly full-bodied wine with both red and black fruit character and very appealing herbal and forest floor qualities. Tasted alongside the 2015 Hyde Vineyard bottling this one has a bit more acidity and structure though both are equally appealing.

I'm being very picky today, this is not overly impressive. Not at all what I was expecting. Will be considered good if someone is an occasional wine drinker.

Classic Paul Hobbs, lush density with finesse and insane length. Strawberry rhubarb, cola, cherry and a mix of fresh green herbs on the finish reminiscent of a bouquet garni are integrated perfectly into the wine.

Drank 2/3 of this on Thanksgiving. Very nice bright red fruit forward expression with a structured long finish. I had it at 94 day 1. Stuck a cork in it and finished it day 2. So much added depth on day 2. An easy 96! Split the diff at 95.

Good not great. Little nose and light flavor. Overall disappointing.

Sebastopol series Soil. Planted pommard, Calera clone, Dijon and swan. Strawberry coulee, orange peel and baking spice. A bruiser of a pinot

Dark fruit. Cherry. Black currant. Vanilla with time. Heavier taste.
