Raised on a farm on the east coast of the United States, Paul Hobbs grew up in a tee-total household but this did not stop his first taste of wine being Chateau d’Yquem. It is tempting to say ‘and the rest is history’ and leave it at that, but there is so much more to this man.
Paul came to winemaking via studying to be a doctor and this scientific background and attention to detail has helped hone his approach to crafting wonderfully precise, complex wines in California, and around the world. He has famously been called the ‘Steve Jobs’ of wine by Forbes magazine and it is clear he is a driven perfectionist whose hard work has paid off with numerous 100 points scores from the critics.
A ruby-edged violet hue sets expectations for the tart red cherry and cranberry aromas that open the glass, evolving into red plum and boysenberry steeped with orange peel, bergamot, and Earl Gray tea. Vibrant tension and a satisfying grip carry through the juicy palate with an intriguing hint of crunchy sea salt. A bright acidity adds freshness to the long, pure finish. Delightful with wild mushroom tartine, roast quail, or rosemary-rubbed leg of lamb.
