Paul Hobbs Chardonnay 2009
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesPaul Hobbs knows California chardonnay and this is a perfect expression of the Russian River. The nose is expressive even exuberant with citrus fruits, and warm floral exotic notes of orange and spicy lees with just the right amount of oak to support the rich fruit. Fine complexity. Hobbs seems to be heading down the less extracted route with this wine and we applaud that tack. The attack is fresh and vibrant with pear and green apple fruit flecked with honey and clove and hazelnut flavours. Fine elegance and food friendly too. Try this with lobster or crab.Tasted: 04 September 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $57.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
