One of our favorite Domestic Pinot Noirs we have tasted this year, the 2021 Paul Hobbs West Sonoma Pinot Noir, is excellent, and we have a limited amount remaining in stock. A great buy for both new and old-world lovers, this is a new wine in the Paul Hobbs lineup, but it is already a worthy addition with this magnificent inaugural release as one of the top wines of the vintage for Sonoma. A great holiday wine and a beautiful example of the Sonoma Coast, this is not one to miss!
This is one of the best Pinot Noir from California I have tasted in the last year. 2021 is an excellent vintage for Sonoma Pinot Noir after the smoke-laden 2020 vintage. The fruit for this wine comes from the coolest vineyard sites Paul Hobbs sources from. The vines are all tended to sustainably, with about 17% whole cluster fruit used and about 1/3 new French oak, with the balance being two to three-year-old barrels. The result is a block-buster Pinot Noir with lovely fruit, incredible depth, and a whiplash of a finish that lingers on the palate for minutes. This is a world-class wine that will blow away new and old-world Pinot Noir lovers and is a tremendously impressive wine from Paul Hobbs.
Antonio Galloni 96 pts! "The 2021 Pinot Noir (West Sonoma Coast), a new wine in this range, is lights out. Rich, ample and bold, the 2021 races across palate with layers of purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and spice. A dollop of stems adds nuance, but without dominating the overall balance. There's terrific acidity and structure to play off the natural fruit richness that is such a distinctive attribute of the best sites in the appellation. (Drink between 2025 - 2033)"
James Suckling 95 pts! "Black-cherry, dried-strawberry, slate and sandstone aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, medium-chewy and bright at the end. The texture and intensity are beautiful and pure. Energy and depth. Drinkable now, but better in 2024."
