I am writing this tasting note after this 2020 Paul Hobbs Russian River Pinot Noir has been opened for two days. This is a good thing, as this wine is obviously young and a bit overwhelming.
This is a concentrated and rich wine. Selected from premium growers across the valley, the fruit delivers dark cherry, plum, beetroot and forest underbrush flavours. This is a brooding wine with firm, somewhat coarse tannins. The finish is long.
This wine is certainly on the big side for a Pinot Noir. Alcohol comes in at 14.3%. Paul Hobbs is a highly regarded winemaker, with operations in different continents, particularly in Argentina. He has a full throttle style, which you may or may not find appealing.
Score: 92/0
