Very impressive wine right now. Had it years ago and was good then, but it has reached a new level. Still has that rich, dense fruit but much more balanced and the purity of fruit is excellent.

Second bottle I opened recently, this one was ready to drink after about 5 minutes, which leaves me a bit puzzled compared with the earlier bottle. Either way - delicious.

We opened and decanted over the course of a few hours. I was very concerned over the first hour - it seemed very disjointed - but it resolved into something quite spectacular around the two hour mark. Glad that we waited until then to consume, and will make sure to decant accordingly next time.
Tasting Notes: Dark fruits, cherry, and cola, with and a touch of smoke. Some earthiness on the nose as well. It’s drinking perfectly now and won’t hesitate to start working through my remaining bottles, but it should hold up for a few more years.

Secondary fermentation. So disappointing! After the bubbles blew off, what was left reminded me of Cherry Cola. Too bad, my previous Paul Hobbs Pinots have been very enjoyable.
