2022 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast

JS95 Flowers, pure fruit, sandalwood, and perfume. Medium body, with such lively fruit character. So bright. Spice. Purity of fruit. So much going on here. All about the energy and liveliness here.
JD94 The 2022 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast has a gorgeous perfume of wild raspberries, fresh flowers, anise, and fresh forest herbs. Medium-bodied, with a lovely structure, it’s long on the palate and has a fresh feel throughout. It’s a beautiful wine, and I would be thrilled to have a case sitting in my cellar for the next several years. Drink 2024-2036.
Hailing from the newly established West Sonoma Coast AVA, this inaugural release displays deep ruby in tint with Bing cherry, wild mountain berry, and an ethereal note of damp earth. Vibrant red and blue fruits dance on the palate, accompanied by oyster shell and a stony tension in character with its coastal influences. A silky texture and uplifted acidity add a sophistication and intensity to this wine, as well as a remarkably long finish.
