Wine Review: This dark ruby Pinot from Hobbs opens with an attractive spicy black raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, very well balanced, and rather smooth. The flavor profile is a very tasty spicy blend of black cherry and raspberry. The finish is quite dry and its well managed tingly tannins are rather prolonged. This Pinot would pair very well with pork tenderloin. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Composed of fruit from Lindsay Estate Vineyard and other select sites neighboring our winery, our appellation pinot is deep plum in color and perfumed with dark fruits, woodsy notes and spice. Dark red cherry and boysenberry introduce a palate that is vibrant and lythe, intermingling earthy notes of tea and forest floor around a velvety, mouthfilling core of perfectly ripened fruit. Bright acidity cleanses the palate and provides the perfect counterpoint to the supple tannins that grace the finish.
