2023 | Paul Hobbs George Menini Pinot Noir | Russian River Champagne Philippe Gamet Blue fruitWow, a super well structured, vital wine with oodles of generous black fruit flavors on a firm frame that will help it age well and improve with time. Black cherries, blackberries, blueberries, forest floor nuances and a slight smoky, stemmy character from using mostly Calera clone grapes, with 15% whole clusters and 30% new French oak. Great interplay between layered fruit and a fresh, crunchy texture. 98 Pts James Suckling
