2016 Paul Hobbs ‘Great Things Happen In Threes’ Pinot Noir

This one-of-a-kind Pinot Noir lot is a blend from the most coveted blocks of the Paul Hobbs Katherine Lindsay Estate of the Russian River Valley, the Paul Hobbs Goldrock Ridge Estate of the Sonoma Coast and the Fraenkle Cheshier Vineyard of Green Valley. Never before has this most prized Pinot Noir fruit been assembled into one innovative prestige cuvée. The grapes are hand harvested at night, hand sorted, then fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged in French oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. This elegant Pinot Noir is perfumed and floral, with blue and red wild fruits and long, supple tannins. Winemaker: Paul Hobbs
