"Shows the vintage at a peak-ripe, intense and savory, with layers dried berry, currant, herb, mineral and sage. Full-bodied, focused and persistent, this is rich and expansive on the finish, where the flavors unfold and gain complexity. Drink now through 2015. From California.ÑJ.L."

"More pomegranate, red currant, kirsch, and a cooler climate mouthfeel characterize the deeply-colored 2008 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard. It should continue to fill out prior to bottling."

2008 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard, Carneros
Paul Hobbs Winery
Deep ruby in color, this elegant, refined Pinot Noir is aromatic with blueberry, violets and sage. Earthy and slightly brooding, the palate opens slowly with impressions of forest floor and black tea that yield to mouth-filling flavors of red and black cherry. Fine, silky tannins, clean minerality and balanced acidity grace a long finish. |
