The most intense, extracted of this lovely trio from Paul Hobbs, this wine is not for the faint of heart or for those who want tight, ageworthy versions of Pinot. This is outgoing, ripe, rich, Pinot that can be drunk up today or can be put away for a half decade or more because it famously combines both succulent depth and convincing structure. Its sweet cherry and caramel character comes with touches of molasses, violets, cocoa and rich soils, and those complex layered pieces are fitted together with into the wine's supple entry and long, open flavors and rewardingly tasty finish.
