Paul Hobbs 2023 George Menini Estate Chardonnay, Russian River Valley
Another fabulous single vineyard Chardonnay from Paul Hobbs. Limited.
94+ Points Robert Parker: "On the nose, the Paul Hobbs 2023 Chardonnay George Menini Estate features alluring aromas of golden apples, honeycomb, cashews and jasmine. The medium-bodied palate balances a satiny texture and concentrated, honeyed flavors with a crescendo of fresh acidity, and it has a long, energetic finish. It will benefit from a few years in the cellar. 750 cases were made."
previous vintage:
95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Paul Hobbs Chardonnay George Menini Estate is lifted with fresh tarragon, flint, and candied green apple. The palate is all about its chalky mineral texture and vibrant energy. Not to confuse this with losing balance or feeling underripe, it has plenty of fruit, with lemon confit, fresh green apple, and a touch of warming baking spice. Allow another year or two in cellar and drink 2023-2034.
...Paul Hobbs is undoubtedly one of the world’s finest consultants, and as Americans we’re lucky to have this New York State-born winemaking guru right in the heart of the Russian River, turning out a bevy of wines from both Napa and the following items from their estate vineyards in Sonoma as well as from purchased fruit. Hobbs has a separate entity now, which is aimed at producing good value wines under the Cross Barn by Paul Hobbs moniker. There’s some juicy, high-quality stuff in these cuvées."
