1993

Pinot Noir

Hyde Vineyard,
Carneros, Napa Valley

• Succulent ripe cherry fruit and aromas of rich roasted meats and clove-like sweet spice combine with a broad spectrum of earthy-tobaccoey flavors to form a strong allegiance toward this grape’s Burgundian heritage. Abundantly oaked and opulent, this Pinot never wants for character. On the palate it is full and fleshy which makes for immediately appealing drinkability. Meticulously hand-crafted this 1993 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir is an excellent accompaniment to grilled savory lamb and a wide assortment of richly flavored cuisine.
