This thing is ripping. Good from the get go. Mellow, golden goodness. Drink now or in 10 years. (469 views) | | Tasted by SonnyChiba on 7/2/2021 & rated 95 points: This is an awesome Chardonnay. Hits well on a lot of levels but the structure surprised me. Super layered with fruits, a gorgeous wine. (524 views) | | Tasted by jsmorris707 on 5/5/2021 & rated 98 points: Similar to prior note; outstanding & at peak, just beautiful (723 views) | | Tasted by jsmorris707 on 1/30/2021 & rated 98 points: SO'd for an hour, deep gold, creamy lemon, coconut & caramel; outstanding & exactly what a mature CA chardonnay should aspire to, ready to drink (778 views) | | Tasted by dlcass on 5/26/2018 & rated 94 points: Nose of Wente clone. Butterscotch, vanilla. On the palate nice balance, vanilla custard, a touch of minerality, but not that of white burgundy. Nice wine. (1092 views) | | Tasted by skurtz on 7/26/2016 & rated 92 points: At Garth's party. Soft oaky buttery goodness. (935 views) | | Tasted by lzelman on 6/29/2015 & rated 95 points: exceptional Chardonnay. Very bright, flavorful, drinking extremely well. (1187 views) | | Tasted by Griffeyfan04 on 6/7/2015 & rated 98 points: I was blown away by this. One of the best chardonnays that I can remember. Lots of smoothness with raciness of the lemon fruit and custard profile. The finish was exquisite with just a hint of creaminess from the oak. Really drinking well right now but will last for quite a few more years for sure (1175 views) | | Tasted by DecoEd on 6/8/2014 & rated 90 points: Normally wonderful, this bottle tasted like it was bottled slightly flawed which I haven't come across before from PH. (1513 views) | | Tasted by DecoEd on 6/21/2013 & rated 94 points: Verrrrrry Young---- (1502 views) | | Tasted by MattK001 on 12/21/2012 & rated 95 points: Outstanding chard with rich caramel and brioche and a hint of orange zest (1407 views) |

| Paul Hobbs Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino County |
