Paul Hobbs, a renowned winemaker known for his meticulous attention to detail and innovative techniques, produces this exquisite Pinot Noir from the George Menini Estate. This wine showcases the elegance and complexity of the Pinot Noir varietal, grown in the cool climate of the Russian River Valley, a sub-region of Sonoma County, California. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The wine exhibits a vibrant flavor profile with layers of red cherry, raspberry, and hints of earthy undertones, balanced by a bright acidity and silky tannins. It pairs beautifully with dishes such as roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto.
