Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Fraenkle Chesier 2024
98 Points, Vinous
“The 2024 Pinot Noir Fraenkle Cheshier Vineyard is a knockout. It emerges from a cold, late-ripening site in the Sebastopol Hills. Dark red cherry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate, spice and rose petal soar from the glass. This is another wine with tremendous fruit purity and exceptional balance. It has the aromatics of Martini clone and the fruit of Calera clone, but it’s actually all Dijon clones.”

“A super-focused, vivid and fresh red that practically vibrates with energy. Drenched in delicious sour cherry, black cherry, iron and cranberry flavors braced by tangy acidity for a linear feel and fresh finish. So deep and energized. Built for long aging. Drinkable now and best from 2030.”
Paul Hobbs Cleary Estate Pinot Noir 2024
99 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2024 Pinot Noir Cleary Estate is a transparent bright ruby/magenta hue with Chambolle-like tones of grenadine, wildflowers, grapefruit oils, and orange zest. Dry-farmed, floral, pure, and layered, this is one of those wines that simply makes you happy. Medium-bodied, it has purity and energy that completely defy expectations at the price. Buy a case. Drink 2026-2046.”

“The 2023 Pinot Noir Cleary Estate is arguably the highlight in this set of new releases from Paul Hobbs. Soaring aromatics and brisk acids make a strong opening statement. Crushed flowers, herbs, mint and vibrant red/purplish fruit are all beautifully sculpted. This nuanced, mineral-driven Pinot is so complete, so alluring.”

“Laser-focused and energized, with brilliant fruit flavors and vivid acidity giving great structure and depth. Notes of red, black and sour cherries, cranberries, pine and spearmint are complemented by moderate tannins and a racy, elegant texture. Drink now or hold.
Paul Hobbs Chardonnay George Menini Estate 2024
98 Points, James Suckling
“An incredibly fruit-driven, fresh and tangy wine with ample chalk, mineral, vivid citrus, green apple and lemon zest flavors backed by linear acidity. Such drive and lift in this ageworthy wine. From old vines that get no irrigation. Drink now or hold.”
