2006
Paul Hobbs Chardonnay, Ritchie Vineyard
Russian River Valley

International Wine Cellar
Stephen Tanzer
May June 2008
93 points
Light, hazy yellow. Strikingly complex, exotic bouquet of orchard and pit fruits, smoky peat, iodine and Thai basil; smells like an Islay scotch. Deep and smoky, with concentrated pear, yellow plum and tarragon flavors underscored by intense minerality. This is about much more than simply fruit, finishing with strong smoke, floral and mineral character. Pretty intriguing.
