Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 30, 2009 - This is my first note on a Paul Hobbs bottle, though I have long been a Hobbs super-fan. We opened this particular Hobbs to sip late on a Sunday night and, per the usual, it was a highly enjoyable treat. The semi-translucent but still rich honey-yellow hue hints at the rich citrus (lemony?) flavor and slightly smokey-oaky texture. I have to wholeheartedly agree with the previous reviewer who noted that as the wine breathes its woodiness increasingly shines through - this is marginally disappointing as I feel that a winemaker of Hobbs' caliber does not need to hide behind oak, ever. Still, a great bottle that fits nicely as a sumptuous wine that you do not need a special occasion to enjoy. A solid 91+.
